Well, the White Sox are not off to the start anybody me included anticipated. As of today they are 8 games under .500 and 9.5 games out of first place in the central. The batting averages are tough to look at, (besides Konerko’s). Watching this team hit so far has been like watching the school for the blinds rec softball team. The good news is it’s still only May and the Indians are in first place. Seeing as baseball is really a game of averages there it seems impossible that Rios and Dunn can continue to hit this horribly when looking at the numbers they have put up for their careers. The positive is that the starters have pitched reasonably well. You have to feel bad for Danks who has a 3.83 era and an 0-5 record. If you told me Phil Humber would pitch this well and they’d be 9.5 games out I would have called you crazy pre-season. The short answer is, yes the White Sox can still turn this around seeing as it is the Indians and Royals in first and second. As long as they close out May no more than 7 games out of first place and the Tigers do not make a big push they should be in decent shape going forward.
