Let me repeat: What do you do with a problem like Lenyn (Sosa)? The answer matters. Yesterday in Detroit, Sosa hit a 451-foot, game-tying homerun in the third inning before singling in two go-ahead runs in the eighth, giving the White Sox a 6-4 win and the series against the Tigers. In their last seven wins, six on the road, the Sox have come from behind in all seven games. Back to Sosa. In a postgame interview, the 25-year old admitted he was most comfortable at second base but added he was getting accustomed to playing first. Second would seem to belong to Chase Meidroth or one of the talented middle infielders presently at High-A and Double-A. If Sosa moves to first, what happens to Miguel Vargas? Is he the answer at third? GM Chris Getz and manager New-Mickey Venable are going to have to make a decision. Me, I like Sosa’s offense; as the saying goes, he’s clutch. And he does seem to be getting better at first base. Why not leave him there for the rest of the season? If he cracks 70 RBIs (right now he’s at 65), it will show just how good an offensive player he is and indicate what he can be. After that, decide. But if they do trade the righthanded-hitting Sosa, try to get equal value in return, unlike, say, Gavin Sheets or Andrew Vaughn.
