The White Sox announced all their non-roster invites to spring training on Thursday, and while it's interesting news because it's a nice reminder that spring training will actually be here soon enough, it's not really interesting news.
Yes, sometimes a non-roster invite makes the team out of camp, but more often than not they don't. Aside from the minor leaguers the team just wants to get a nice look at, the others are usually the type of players that are washed-up but can't admit it to themselves, and the team doesn't mind using their body during camp.
Hey there, Brad Penny. No, I'm not talking about you! I'm sure you still have "it!"
But this year there's one invite that I would almost consider a lock to make the Opening Day roster. His name is Geovany Soto.
