"When you get thrown into a new position without ever playing it at the major-league level, it's tough," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters."When you get thrown into a new position and you are told: 'We need your bat,' that's even tougher. He's just coming back home to his comfort zone and that should help his all-around game, for sure."
