ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Surprised he wasn’t in Saturday’s White Sox lineup, Adam Eaton had closed-door meeting with coaches Mark Parent and Daryl Boston.
Best described as a spirited, 10-minute discussion, Eaton, who went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Friday’s loss, expressed his frustration at sitting out for the second time in three games.
With Tampa Bay’s Chris Archer currently pitching at an All-World level, Parent said he liked how J.B. Shuck matches up better. Parent, who is filling in for manager Robin Ventura this weekend, suggested Eaton would return to the lineup on Sunday and also said the discussion -- one he didn’t seem to mind -- surrounded the center fielder’s defensive positioning.
