White Sox Update: Benintendi, Stolen Bases, Colas

Grifol on Benintendi hitting third: "I like him in any slot in the order. Right now I like him in the 3-hole. I’ve got my reasons. We’ll address those when the time comes. But I like him in the 3-hole right now. That’s why he’s there. It’s not by accident."

Pedro Grifol has #WhiteSox left fielder Andrew Benintendi batting third again. Lineups in spring training aren't always telling "but I like him in the 3-hole right now," Grifol said. "That’s why he’s there. It’s not by accident."

Last year, the White Sox stole 9 bases for the entire spring training.

Through 8 games this year, they already have 13, fifth most in MLB. Three more SBs than the Guardians.

Yeah, it's spring training, but most hits so far in spring training:

Jordan Walker STL 9
Juan Soto SD 8
Oscar Colas CWS 7
Hanser Alberto CWS 7
8 others 7

Good point. White Sox have approached the game consistently in this manner over first week of Cactus League. https://t.co/Bi4HLCkmH5

Abreu confirms what we already knew – the #WhiteSox weren’t a good ‘team’ in every sense of the word in 2022.

Leadership – lack thereof. https://t.co/NYJ84DnoeL
