When you’ve had the type of stretch the Chicago White Sox have had, everything gets noticed, including omitting Keynan Middleton's name on the video board. Players, meanwhile, want to 'make the best of the opportunities' after recent changes.
[Don't miss] Column: Ozzie Guillén, once in the middle of multiple Chicago White Sox firestorms, now stirs the pot from the outside“Spring training is extremely deceiving, the lineups are deceiving, the most important thing is just having these guys right now,” Grifol said before Wednesday’s game. “For example, night, Cronin had to go through 2, 3, 4 . That’s really important for his development. He looks like he can be a part of this thing moving forward.
“You’ve got to put him in some stress, clean up this inning, give us a couple innings one day and give us an out or two the next. That kind of stuff. There’s a development process to all this, but I’ll repeat this till the season’s over: We’re never going to compromise a major-league win for development. But I’m glad that they’re here getting this type of time where they’re developing, putting some of this experience in their library.
“In time, when he’s ready we’ll talk about the possibilities. Until then, I’m focused on these guys here now and our minds will be focused on those guys down there. We are in discussions about that, but today is not the right time.”Advertisement “I think that the guys we got here, we are happy to go to war together,” he said. “We are going to go out there and roll with the punches and keep going and make the best of the opportunities we have.”
