CHICAGO – Following today’s game vs. San Diego, the Chicago White Sox optioned infielder Marcus Semien to Class AAA Charlotte.

 

Semien, 23, is hitting .218 (36-165) with seven doubles, one triple, three home runs, 18 RBI and 22 runs scored in 43 games this season. He has appeared in 24 games (23 starts) at third base, 17 (16) at second and one at shortstop.

 

All three of Semien’s home runs this season have given the White Sox the lead in the seventh inning or later.

 

The White Sox will make a corresponding roster move prior to tomorrow night’s series opener at Los Angeles-NL.

 

EDIT: someone please fix the title.

Hopefully a trade is looming but this needed to be done. He needs consistent at bats.

 

Infield at Charlotte is Davidson, M. Johnson, Saladino, Sanchez, Semien.

Isn't Micah still on the DL? And Saladino's played a bit of OF recently.

Micah is back in a week or so though and they all need to be playing daily

Yes, but thats my point. When Micah comes back what do you do. Saladino will definitely be the super UTIL player and now play LF. Maybe move Micah to CF?

Unless the organization believes BOTH Semien and Sanchez are slated to be utility players in the Keppinger/McEwing/Oquendo/Grebeck mode long-term, they need to pick the best one (in their belief) and stick him at SS everyday.

 

Saladino's no longer a prospect for everyday MLB time, so he will be the first one (and has been) to be moved all over the field.

 

And Sanchez/Micah Johnson both can't play 2B at the same time, either.

Aren't Dan Black and Andy Wilkins both at Charlotte as well? They don't even have the DH spot open. It really does seem like a trade could be coming relatively soon.

I thought either Leury or Sierra would have been sent down or DFA'd. Or De Aza, preferably.

Semien needs regular at-bats, it's as simple as that.

 

As for De Aza, might as well give him another month and see if he can catch fire for a few weeks. It's not like he's blocking anyone and maybe we can salvage something of value for him. Either way, he won't be on this team next year that's for sure.

Semien was sent down to make room for activating Abreu tomorrow. Still have no clue what Charlotte will do with all the infielders.

Actually, the Charlotte roster is now at 25 includung Semein. Micah due to come back soon will make 26. They have another infielder named Michael Johnson who isn't playing much and is probably expendable.
