I like the optimism (and I'm trying to feel it, but.........)
Come one... Realistically, this team has some gaping holes in it, not to mention a coaching staff that if it can't be called completely inept, it can certainly be called extremely pathetic. While some positive came out of this team in the last month, as long as we are understocked with quality, consistent starters and are thin in the outfield and behind the plate, we should jump for joy for .500 seasons.
I love the Sox, I always will and I can't wait until catchers and pitchers report (only 3 months or so ), but let's not forget the reality of the situation... Right now, the Sox are looking like they're going to field an Opening Day roster of...
C) Mark Johnson
1B) Paul Konerko
2B) D'Angelo Jiminez
3B) Joe Crede
SS) Jose Valentin
LF) Carlos Lee
CF) Aaron Rowand
RF) Magglio Ordonez
SP) Mark Buehrle
While I think the future may be rosy for the Sox with the success some of our minor league teams are having, as long as Captain Kenny is running the show and Uncle Jerry is holding the purse-strings, I fear the Sox may forever be bridesmaids.
Oh well. I'm 19. If JR thinks he can outlive me, he's got a fight on his hands...
Sorry if I may be overly pessimistic, but I did write this, after all (By the way, not to sound picky or whiny... I am new here, after all, but the link on the front page doesn't lead to the article... the link on the front page is missing the a in afansview).
Go White Sox!
