The AL Central seems to be wide open, at least unless Minnesota miraculously bolsters its depleted rotation. Even if Keuchel outperforms his projections, starting pitching may become the main White Sox' weakness.

I love Eddy as he’s an all-time Blue Jay great power hitter but the dude looked like a corpse at the plate in the playoffs last year. I hope he bounces back for Chicago. Guy is 86 him runs away from 500. Guy has hit at least 32 bombs each of the last 8 years. If he can stick around in the league for 4 more years he could hit 500 and that would be amazing.

The white Sox position players seek to be set. Pitching will be the key this year but if all goes right they could be in playoff contention

Four more years? He will be lucky to hit 25 bombs and bat .240. He’s baked at this point. I’m glad the Yankees cut him loose.

I like Edwing but after this year he needs to retire.

I mean, I fully admitted he looked like a corpse in the playoffs this year but his regular season production as still there. I’m skeptical about him past this year but you never know. The guy is a professional hitter, maybe he’ll need to reinvent himself a bit to keep going but he’s a pretty grip it and rip it type guy.
