Eloy Jimenez has made it clear once again. He does not want to play DH.<\/p>\n

Jimenez has continued to work at being a better outfielder. He started 114 games in left field in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel comfortable playing DH,\u201d Jimenez said in an interview<\/a> with MLB’s Jon Paul Morosi. \u201cI like playing the outfield. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s right field or left field, but I feel comfortable in the outfield. I don\u2019t like being the DH. For me, it\u2019s boring.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe one time in my career — when I\u2019m 35 or 37 — I can DH. But not now\u201d added Jimenez.<\/p>\n

In the interview Jimenez also expressed his belief that the White Sox would be active in the free agent marking adding his hope was that mentor Jose Abreu would return for a seventh season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
