Rundown

[Intro] Colson Montgomery is back thanks to his back spasms calming down. It looks like he's the frontrunner to be Opening Day shortstop, but what if he doesn't pick up his hitting? What if the back barks on him again? Then what's the White Sox plan at shortstop?

[19:08] Position outlook: Outfield. With Andrew Benintendi and Austin Slater doubtful in being ready by Opening Day, what is the White Sox outfield roster looking like?

[26:23] Position outlook: Infield. Lenyn Sosa is having a strong spring and possibly earned himself another shot on the MLB roster. Who else is joining him on the bench? Could Brandon Drury hit himself into a major league contract? Or will someone like Jacob Amaya get the nod just in case Montgomery gets hurt?

[36:59] Best story from camp is the emergence of RHP Shane Smith who is impressing with his 98 MPH fastball. Would the White Sox be better off having Smith be in the rotation over Bryse Wilson?
