So with Memorial Day being the first fence post of the season, how does everyone feel about the White Sox thus far?
Fine, mostly
Rey's shown the most growth. Looks like a legitimate frontline starter, and this is coming from somebody who was very recently on the fence about whether or not the belonged in the rotation period.
Tim & Yoan are the only one's I'm really paying attention to on a nightly basis, and although Yoan's been awful since his injury return (in a really small sample size), both have taken legitimate steps forward in their development. Not worried about Tim booting balls. They're young and they're improving. No reason to think that won't continue.
Been plenty of success on the farm too. Eloy, Kopech, Cease, Stephens, Adolfo, Basabe, Luis Gonzalez, Collins suddenly. There's so much depth and so much to be excited about.
I'm not hitting the panic button on Giolito yet, but it's discouraging that his velocity is dipping along with his command. He was dominant in the spring.
Renteria needs to improve as an in-game manager if he's gonna stick around for contention. Stop bunting hitters not named Engel. Simple as that.
