From Jenks to Danks

Alex Wolf, Sox Superfan

Spring Training couldn’t look any worse for White Sox pitching. The Sox lead the Cactus league in runs allowed and currently reside in last place. While I’m certainly weary of reading into any results of Spring Training, this is certainly a cause of some concern. I’m confident that our newly appointed fifth starter, John Danks, will fill in adequately for Garcia (and with all the reports coming out of Philly, it seems that Freddy was a damaged good anyways), and that Jenks will get his fastball up and be as good as ever in his third season with the team.

On the flip side of things, how ’bout that offense! I have never been a huge Podsednik fan because I just don’t think he has gotten on base enough in the past to be effective, but boy is he coming out with something to prove this spring! With Erstad playing as the grinder we hoped he would be, Anderson and Uribe showing some serious improvement from last season, and that dangerous middle playing as strong as they always have, it’s going to be a high scoring season for the Good Guys. Is it premature to call them the Phoenix Suns of the MLB?!
