Answer Me This

Now that the White Sox have gone out and signed Elvis Andrus to play second base, GM Rick Hahn says Romy Gonzalez can be a “Ben Zobrist” type of player while manager Pedro Grifol goes more for the “Swiss Army knife” analogy. Potato, potahto. Answer me this, though—how many Swiss Zobrists can you carry? I thought that was Leury Garcia’s role. I mean, Hahn signed him for three years last offseason. Unless my math is off, that leaves two years to go. Are Hahn and Grifol trying to light a fire under Gonzalez, or Garcia given his .210 BA in 2022, or both? Unless it’s neither, which in White Sox world is entirely possible. Did I mention Jake Burger? Well, neither did Hahn and Grifol. I have a sneaking suspicion two out of three of them will be disappointed by the time camp breaks. Count on the brain trust to alienate everyone in the process.
