To me, there are four options:Option Gonzalez to AAA; no other changesOption Perez to AAA; platoon Gonzalez & Meidroth at 2BDFA Acuna; platoon Gonzalez & Meidroth at 2BTrade Benintendi; use Gonzalez as the primary DHDoor Number 1. Most likely. Sox will not need any more LH bats once Murakami comes back. (LH bats: Colson, Murakami, Teel, Antonacci, Braden, Benintendi)Need a RH bat so Perez stays for the time being.There is no evidence that Gonzalez can play second base at the major league level. There is defensive value in a set infield including positioning, range adjustments, covering second and double plays.'69 Cubs: Santo, Kessinger, Beckert and Banks..2005 White Sox: Crede, Uribe,Iguchi Konerko 2006 White Sox: Vargas, Montgomery, Chase and Murakami. All worked together hand and glove.- Need Acuna more than Gonzo for infield defense, speed on the bases, and his slightly improved RH bat.Sure, if Benintendi were to be traded Gonzo could platoon at DH. That's not going to happen now though, so back to Door #1. Edited to add that it may be more likely that Gonzo gets traded than Benintendi (age, Benintendi's existing contract). I guess we will wait to see if there is interest in either one of them in exchange for pitching. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by tray
