What about Uribe?

by @ 10:32 am. Filed under 2008 White Sox

With spring games rapidly approaching and Orlando Cabrera taking the reins at short stop, what is going to happen with Juan Uribe?   While most of the major league egos would shine through in a situation like Uribe’s,  the  7-year pro is ready for whatever the Sox need from him.  Still in a fierce competition for the second base position with Danny Richar and Alexei Ramirez, Uribe will most likely end up being a utility player for the club.  Not so bad when you’re still making $4.5 million this year.  When asked about his feelings on his situation, Uribe replied, “Whatever they need me to do. I’ve never had one problem anywhere I’ve been. I’m here to work hard and win that second base job. If not, whatever job they give me.” Players throughout the league could learn something from Uribe’s humble attitude.  Facing a demotion, Uribe still finds the brighter side and knows that he can still help his team do some damage in their division.  Who knows, maybe Cabrera or somebody else will get hurt and Uribe will step in and save the day.  Only time will tell what Uribe’s season turns out to be, but with his positive attitude and a little extra elbow grease, I foresee Uribe being a key player in the success of the White Sox this year.
