February 1, 201214 yr TBTimes_Rays Marc Topkin 1B Dan Johnson, who hit big homers for #Rays, signing w/ #White Sox, minor-league deal
February 1, 201214 yr Not really big but nevertheless a move. Could provide some power if somebody was to go down.
February 1, 201214 yr Author He has barely played at the major league level since 2007. I think we are looking at the starting 1b for Charlotte.

And I think this may signal that any slim chance Christian Marrero had of starting at 1B in Charlotte, and therefore any slim chance he had to eventually make the Sox, has vanished. Not really a surprise, just thought it was worth pointing out. Unless they see Marrero as an OF. More likely they just don't see him as anything at all.

February 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) Obligatory: Dan Johnson?! Dan Johnson.
February 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) Can we get away with a bench of Johnson, Flowers, Lillibridge, and Martinez? Sure you can if the expectations for the team aren't that high.

February 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) Can we get away with a bench of Johnson, Flowers, Lillibridge, and Martinez? Johnson would be our only lefty off the bench and can only play 1B. I just don't see how that works with six right-handed regulars.
February 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) Johnson would be our only lefty off the bench and can only play 1B. I just don't see how that works with six right-handed regulars. If we didn't have anyone else who could cover 1b I'd be more interested, but we can stick either Dunn or Lillibridge there and still survive when PK14 needs a day.
February 1, 201214 yr So, the White Sox are still the only team not to sign anyone to their major league team this offseason, right?
February 1, 201214 yr I love the off season. I actually spent a moment or two thinking about Don Johnson. Miami Vice was a decent, and entertaining show. The warm pastel colors and pink flamingos made me think of spring in a much nicer way than thinking about this team heading into spring. I'm just not feeling the excitement yet.
February 1, 201214 yr Man, they're really setting up Charlotte for a title run. The Knights are gonna be loaded with AAAA talent.
