Tyler Saladino’s motto – take this job and love it -- puts a new twist on an old classic.
Second baseman is just one of many titles Saladino holds with the White Sox. He’s also a shortstop, third baseman, occasional first baseman and outfielder and, in a pinch, could be a catcher, the only position he hasn’t played in his two seasons with the Sox.
But with the release of Brett Lawrie and the development of Baseball America’s second-ranked prospect Yoan Moncada still in the works, Saladino, he of the somewhat famous mustache, finds himself in the position of adding “starting” before his title as a second baseman going into this season.
