Big Dreams for 2007
Sox bring size to the starting rotation and bullpen
As pitchers and catchers begin to report to Arizona, the revamped White Sox pitching staff brings a new look. Nine pitchers are 6-4 or taller including 6-10 left hander Andrew Sisco and 6-8 Adam Russell, as opposed to last year when 6-3 Bobby Jenks was the tallest member of the staff. With this size usually comes conditioning and injury issues. However, General Manager Ken Williams was pleasntly surprised with how well these players conditioned in the off-season. The Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was also very impressed by the young arms that the Sox aquired. Nick Masset and Charlie Heager are likily to grab the 4th and 5th spots in the rotation. It is going to be an exciting Spring Training watching all of these young pitchers develop and face off against major league hitters.
I am very interested to see how all of your teams finish in the Grapefruit League. I'm looking forward to March 1, where the Yanks meet the Twins in Legends Field. Since the Mets and Yankees don't actually play each other (till the regular season)we will have to see who finishes higher in the standings.
