A benched Tim Anderson is a dangerous Tim Anderson.
The Tuscaloosa shortstop, who is arguably the beating heart of the Chicago White Sox, began the season serving a suspension stemming from a bench-clearing brawl with Detroit last September. Back at the team hotel for the first two games of the season, Anderson paced like a leopard in a cage, watching and waiting, just itching to contribute. His moxie and drive have become essential to White Sox success.
That was crystal clear last Wednesday, when the Sox upended reigning AL Cy Young winner Robbie Ray and his Seattle Mariners.
