With Increased Expectations, the 11th Pick Feels Different This Time for White Sox
The 2019 Chicago White Sox played only 161 games this year and it might have ultimately cost them one spot in the draft order next June.

What’s life but an opportunity to dwell on one’s failures? And this author has one big failure to dwell on. I never bought in on Luis Robert. His numbers as a teenager were gaudy in Cuba, and it seemed too good to be true when he came to the White Sox as the top-billed product... Read more »
