The White Sox aren't sure what they have on their hands in Sandoval, but they're getting intrigued. He hit his way from Class A Burlington all the way to a Triple-A cameo last year. He finished with a .296 batting average and 48 stolen bases, then continued his rise with a strong winter at Zulia in the Venezuelan League. While Sandoval is a promising contact hitter, he has little power and there's no sign that the Sox are looking on him as a long-term option anywhere. He was an all-star shortstop in the Midwest League, but is error-prone and lacks both range and arm strength. He played second and third base at Winston-Salem, but was back as a full-time shortstop in winter ball. His future is probably as a utilityman, but he needs another season like his last one to get the White Sox' full attention.
