Antonacci is the most exciting revelation of spring by far imo. 

I would give him the job over meidroth. The questions he had were all around getting to power with + EV's which he's now shown he can do.

I might be getting crazy, but his path reminds me so much of Jose Ramirez with the difference being Antonacci never had the down year. Elite contact and zone rates, but questions on growing into power. We obviously know what happened when he did.

Spring doesnt matter for almost anything, but for EV's it's very meaningful. 

109.5 and 107.1 this spring. Also another ball at 101. It's the peak that matters though.

The Sox aren’t uprooting Meidroth yet.  The Sox absolutely love the kid and his power (while firmly below average) was compromised last season due to a variety of health issues.  That being said, I do think that if Chase isn’t a 100+ wRC+ guy by June, then Antonacci has a real chance of taking the 2B job and pushing Chase to a reserve infielder role.  I still love both players and think they are the type of role players a good org like the Dodgers have in the 8 to 11 range of their positional group.
