As Opening Day approaches for the Chicago White Sox, the recent optioning of Colson Montgomery to Triple-A has left a vacancy at shortstop. Manager Will Venable has been experimenting with Chase Meidroth, who recently batted leadoff and played shortstop in two consecutive games. Despite a sluggish spring performance, Meidroth's ability to draw walks appears to keep him in contention for a roster spot. The field is crowded with options, but Meidroth stands out as a likely candidate for the shortstop position with Montgomery no longer in consideration.
Meidroth, batting leadoff and playing shortstop for the second consecutive game, has emerged as a significant candidate for the Opening Day roster in the absence of Montgomery.
Despite hitting poorly this spring, Meidroth's strong plate discipline with six walks to four strikeouts makes him a viable candidate for the White Sox.
