Romy Gonzalez Could Stick As Starter At Second Base
2 years agoChicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said he's not inclined to mix and match his way through the second base situation. If infielder Romy Gonzalez continues to play the way he has, he'll continue to play at the keystone. However, if Elvis Andrus (oblique) returns and catches fire, he'll play. Andrus is expected to come off the injured list this weekend for the series against the Detroit Tigers at home, but he won't be guaranteed regular playing time if Gonzalez continues to hit. The 26-year-old Gonzalez is hitting just .211 overall (15-for-71), but he's picked it up of late by going 5-for-18 (.278) with three home runs and four RBI in his last five games. The White Sox need all the offensive production they can get, so whoever is swinging the hotter bat will get the playing time.
