Last season, the Chicago White Sox farm system was stocked by the Charlotte Knights. This season, all eyes will be on the Birmingham Barons. At every position group, there are potential stars, and that starts with Eloy Jimenez.
Unfortunately, the injury bug will delay both Jimenez’s and Alec Hansen’s start to the season.
Jimenez strained his pectoral muscle, and thankfully, it’s not a serious injury. But along with the left knee tendinitis earlier in the spring, Jimenez will need to attend extended spring training. Hansen will also be delayed, due to forearm soreness.
