After last night’s freak collision, Willy Garcia was officially diagnosed with a concussion and has been put on the seven-day disabled list. In a corresponding move, the White Sox have purchased the contract of INF/OF Nicky Delmonico from the Charlotte Knights.
Delmonico is a versatile player that can play just about any position on the diamond. In 99 games with the Charlotte Knights, Delmonico has put up a slash line of .262/.347/.421. With that, he has 12 home runs, 44 RBI’s, and 4 stolen bases. Delmonico isn’t the flashiest White Sox prospect by any means, but he does a little bit of everything and will play hard 100% of the time.
One of the biggest themes during this White Sox rebuild has been depth. Sure the future stars like Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech are going to bring on the majority of attention, but the best teams also have tremendous depth. Delmonico could easily be one of those guys. He has the offensive/defensive balance to be an effective super-utility type player on the White Sox for years to come.
