The secret to a surprisingly watchable first season of Extreme Makeover: White Sox Edition? A steady stream of fine introductions from new characters.
Maybe Avisail Garcia and Leury Garcia weren’t entirely new, but they occupied new roles like “potential batting champ” and “possible everyday center fielder.” When Leury got hurt, Adam Engel took over and provided superior center field defense with a bat that wasn’t empty, at least at the beginning. After that, the Sox finally started dipping into the top prospect list, with Yoan Moncada and Reynaldo Lopez commanding the attention.
