Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu has consistently beamed about the team's potential in recent seasons, always promising a resurgence was on the way.
With the White Sox toting a six-game winning streak into Wednesday's interleague home game against the Milwaukee Brewers -- fueled by Abreu's leadership and a young, jelling core -- that optimism has remained close at hand.
"It's always good to be around this team we have right now, this group," Abreu told reporters through an interpreter. "A lot of energy and passion that motivates you more every day."
Still, the seventh-year veteran cautions the White Sox to remain diligent as they push for the team's first postseason berth in more than a decade.
