The White Sox complete their laundry list

blog-0523450001577030970.jpgWell the White Socks are looking like they have completed their laundry list and the Twins might want to look over their shoulders. Here is there roster http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/roster/ and this is before adding Kuechel for three years and $55m. Yes they began with a catcher and added a pitcher (and then Gonzales too) with Kopech and Giolito on their starting rotations too.

 

The Chicago Tribune wrote, "The Sox re-signed Jose Abreu, signed switch-hitting catcher Yasmani Grandal, acquired a front-line starter in Keuchel and brought in two smaller and somewhat riskier acquisitions in Gonzalez and Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara, whom they acquired for prospect Steele Walker."

 

And the paper adds - "The Sox lineup already was solid with defending AL batting champion Tim Anderson, Abreu, Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez at the top. It figures only to get better with Grandal and the the call-ups of center fielder Luis Robert and second baseman Nick Madrigal, both of whom should be on the roster before May, if not sooner."

 

And then there is this quote, "Believe it or not, the Sox will be considered an American League Central contender in a division with three rebuilds, a slow-motion teardown in Cleveland and the always unpredictable Twins."

 

And, by the way, the Detroit Tigers signed C. J Cron and Schoop - adding some familiar bats to their flimsy lineup.

 

Every time players are signed by another team I see posts that list the next ones on the list. But guess what, those players are on the bottom of the list for a reason.

I agree

 

I don't feel like the Sox are done yet.

The White Sox will likely be somewhat better this year than they were last year, but I don't think they're remotely a threat yet. Cleveland are still very much superior to the White Sox.

The answer is - the old lets wait and see.  I am just hoping we are as good as we were last year.

The Whitesox don't have any margin of error or injury. Even if they sign Edwin Encarnation.

Which approach do you prefer?  Twins or White Sox?

I prefer the Twins approach 100%. Half of the White Sox veteran signings will be dismal failures and half will be adequate. Keep calm and carry on.

The Twins are last years Cleveland team, thinking that they can just coast to a division title without addressing glaring needs in the off-season. The White Sox might just be last year’s Twins.
