With the likes of Joe Jackson and Frank Thomas and all the talent on the mound this White Sox team should be just as good as anyone. The pitching staff has incedible numbers as well, the White Sox just might be one of those teams that people may overlook but could make a true run. Nellie Fox and Luke Appling wiht Aparicio off the bench are strong up the middle as well making this team really good all the way around, inlcuding Tony Larussa in the dugout.
PREDICTION: 2nd Place
