He'd be a great fourth outfielder for a team that could be looked at as a late-inning defensive replacement. His speed is also still there. He can't be counted out as a designated runner off the bench late in games, either.Mark1023@madler1023@VinnieDuber Billy is a great 4th outfielder. The stolen base rules are made for him. Plus with the extra inning rules, he is perfect to pitch run at 2nd. I hope they carry him on the roster.11@VinnieDuber Billy is a great 4th outfielder. The stolen base rules are made for him.

Not many players get this kind of reception while only playing in 79 games for the team.The Chicago White Sox desperately need a bounce-back seasonMinnesota Twins v Chicago White SoxNot many teams had a more disappointing season than the Chicago White Sox in 2022. They were the clear favorites to win the division, but ended up finishing behind the Cleveland Guardians and three games ahead of the Minnesota Twins.We may see a sharper and more disciplined team this year as new manager Pedro Grifol has taken over for the retired Tony La Russa. There were times where neither the players nor coaching staff seemed to know what was going on under TLR.All eyes will be on this team and how they perform this year. Another bad year could be disastrous for this organization.
