How good are this year’s Chicago White Sox going to be? Will the collections of veteran additions and young players take them to the promised land, or will they disappoint like many White Sox teams of the recent past?
I’d wager that the squad 6 of veterans the White Sox acquired this off-season are much better than the quartet of veteran players the White Sox acquired heading into 2015. Of those four, David Robertson managed to be a somewhat average closer, and the rest were busts. In hindsight, Adam LaRoche and Melky Cabrera were only average players for their careers, and you can’t say the same thing about Yasmani Grandal and Edwin Encarnacion, who is in fact very good.
