If 2012 was an injury year and September 2011 was the real thing, he could be back at 3rd and Keppinger at 2nd when Mr. Excuses runs out of them.

Ramirez started 157 games last year so a back up SS is only needed for 5 or so games barring injury.

Or maybe Ramirez will hit better if he had more rest. Bob |

It's a bench. That's usually why players are on the bench. Because they are below average hitters.

When Wise puts on a White Sox uniform he turns from
Journeyman. into Superman. I don't mind having him on the bench. Gillaspie might be a good find and hope that Morel stays healthy. Defensively, not a bad bench. Lol. |

Lets be honest here, it doesn't matter if we lose Morel. He can't hit and has the slowest bat in the majors. Sorry, someone had to say it.

With KW considering making Konerko a player/manager last year, the Sox could have had 3 out of the last 4 player-managers in Don Kessinger, Ozzie Guillen, and Paul Konerko, with Pete Rose being the other one.

I think he was saying that if Guillen had activated himself to play SS that game, that would have given the Sox a player-manager for that game.

Morel would be a very fringe starter offensively at 3B and his defense could possibly keep him in a starting role. If you don't agree, look at Crede's numbers. He didn't have a good offensive season until 2006. But what I was getting at, Morel would be a plus bat off the bench. Trying to make him more versatile is a great idea. |

Still, Hahn took a backup shortstop in the Rule 5 draft, and Morel didn't play any position but third last year in Charlotte. Having a third baseman who can back up other positions including shortstop and building a 25-man roster with that player as your backup shortstop are two different things. If Morel were to be the second shortstop on the team, I wouldn't expect him to make the 25-man roster coming out of this spirng training. |

Nobody brought up this possibility. By having him playing SS it makes Morel more useful for another team. morel's defense alone might be nice for a team. Could be shopping him.
Alexei plays most of the time anyways. Gillaspie backup third and for now Angel Sanchez backups at short. |

I don't see what there is to apologize for, I can't believe anyone's watched the Sox in the last 2 years and not concluded that, at best, on a good team, Brent Morel is a fringe starter.
