If you are a Chicago White Sox that wishes for more fire and brimstone from the coaching staff, new hitting coach Derek Shomon is going to be your guy.
As @jrfegan.soxmachine.com writes for @SoxMachine.com, Shomon is going to bring the energy.

!["When a right-handed hitter on a two-[strike] count backs it up, picks it out of the catcher's mitt and shoots it through the four-hole, you will hear me probably from wherever you're sitting," Shomon said. "This game's fucking tough, man. It beats the shit out of you. The valley comes for everybody. No one is free of the valley. It's about how long am I in the valley? How long until I climb out of this shit?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:47qwnppyteoyl5vtcgmz5xbb/bafkreiallmtp5q7eegwkqtoafbiy2nsfg6hkvil3xyymq4w2ususz4rxdy@jpeg)

I asked @jimcallis.bsky.social about Sam Antonacci, and if he's a left-handed hitting version of Chase Meidroth. Could there be a Spring Training battle of playing time at second base between Meidroth and Antonacci?

My current 26-man Chicago White Sox roster projection with the current 40-man roster.
Speaking of 40-man roster, the White Sox are at 34. Which is great because they have plenty of room to add.
