The good news on Tuesday is that the Chicago White Sox finally broke through for their first spring win, a stirring 9-7 clobbering of a split-squad Kansas City Royals club.
The bad? Dane Dunning, the almost-unanimous No. 6 prospect in the White Sox organization, had a recurrence of right forearm soreness and thus could be ticketed for Tommy John surgery. Dunning was shut down with two months remaining in his stellar 2018 season, due to similar discomfort.
With the lighthearted stuff out of the way, let us pretend for a moment that the Perpetuity Rebuild ’19 is still on track, and celebrate a nice offensive output.
