Colson Montgomery looking to earn shortstop job with the Chicago White Sox
Briefly

Colson Montgomery, a promising shortstop for the Chicago White Sox, feels motivated to make his MLB debut following GM Chris Getz's positive prediction. After a dismal 41-121 season, the White Sox are looking to their robust farm system to fill gaps in the lineup, especially at shortstop. Montgomery, determined to prove himself, is closely watched as spring training approaches. Alongside him, Josh Rojas and others may also vie for the position, but Montgomery’s ambition reflects the team’s hope for a brighter future.
"Him saying that, it just kind of gives me a little more motivation and confidence. But at the end of the day, it's not going to be given, so I got to go out there and I got to earn it."
"Everyone here is hungry and everything like that," said Montgomery, who turns 23 on Feb. 27.
"I'm going to scrap my way every day and I'm going to come and bring energy," he said, "and I play the game where my jersey's usually the dirtiest one on the field after every game."
