Yeah especially since Turner has a ton of experience there. But also we know how TA’s defense at short is…

I'm intrigued 

TA was quoted earlier this year as saying he doesn't like playing second but he'd do it for the White Sox.

Let the Colson Montgomery era begin.  

SS are getting paid too much these days....will Timmy take 2B $$?

He is such a badass. 

2nd base and in the middle of the lineup and comes through in a big way.

Lynn and Timmy stepping up for USA

Moncada and Robert propelling Cuba.

Eloy getting hits for DR.

Jose Ruiz with the win, .2 innings against DR for Venezuela

Nick Padilla with a win for .1 innings in PR win against Nicaragua

TA always says the right thing. 

Outside of nearly tripping on his own feet on his first attempt (still made the out) I think it went alright for the first time ever playing the position. 

This was nice and happy tim has happy thoughts around him again.

But being myself, all I could think of is how it confirmed my previous arguments that sox should have jumped, leapt, lurched forward at the chance to acquire trea turner when he was suddenly available from the nationals ?

Only for him to be gone by now. Damn.

I still love Timmy despite all the recent vitriol thrown his way on this board. He's my guy.

I'd have been happy for the 1.5 years, taken the draft pick. But now we have Hahn probably saying "TA would you mind moving for our scrap heap signing of Elvis Andrus?!?!"

Re-watching the beginning of the USA game from last night while working, DeRosa mentioned it may not be pretty but he wants his bat in the lineup. See, nothing wrong with becoming a bat-first 2B.

Can't have another guy blocking Burger at 2B.

I wonder why Madrigal is not on the team.

Glad to see him playing well..  I'd like to see the Sox use him in the OF some; he's an excellent athlete, we have little depth in the OF and most of our good prospects are IFs.  Some time there once in a while will be easier on his body.  He's arguably our best player, and letting him go after his contract should not be easy (especially if it's due to this "clubhouse" nonsense).

Bro, if we're gonna go back to 2017 on this board, I want my pre pandemic body and brain back as well.

Put him at catcher you fucking cowards.

Other than Montgomery and Ramos... not feeling all that confident about those young infielders. 

And unless Anderson was playing CF everyday... it wouldn't elevate his value any from a FA standpoint to take him off SS. 

You don't do it for Elvis Andrus. 

Now maybe if Robert was hurt again... you'd have to consider it at least.

Dodgers should trade for Anderson for a couple of prospects and Michael Busch per Joel Reuter. Complete speculation it seems. Never mind.

I honestly have no idea what my initial reaction would be. Joy? Anger? Elation? Confusion?

I'd immediately log onto Soxtalk, that's for sure.

What will they be saying at the Applebee's in Lawrence (besides Rock Chalk Jayhawk)???

Would love to hear Ozzie's thoughts over a few cervezas.

Certainly not thinking of it as a permanent move...just some spot play.  Showing some versatility might help his FA outlook (not that that is a prime concern anyway).  Anyway, I think he's a really good player and I hope the Sox are able to keep him long-term.
