Elvis Andrus discusses his first in-game appearance at 2B

Andrus said weirdest thing about second base was time between innings. Said actually playing it was a little trickier than perhaps he anticipated, though, esp with runners on. Needs more games before he’ll feel comfortable.

Oscar Colás and Romy Gonzalez both have power, and both can be free-swinging. So their offseason work with White Sox coaches involved a lot of practicing *not* swinging.
