It's not the length of the season - being shorter that will help - it is the later start. Playing baseball in Chicago in March and early April is brutal for pitchers and hitters. I think a late start for the White Sox is probably good from that stand point, but if it means a late finish that just moves the cold problem to the end rather than at the beginning.So to me, based on all that I'm reading, it's looking an awful lot like the season is going to be truncated resulting from a later start date. The two numbers I'm seeing the most are 140 and 130 game options. The question is do you think a shortened schedule hurts or helps the Sox chances for a postseason berth....or does it even matter (as in we're gonna kick ass no matter what)?
The only other problem I have the shorter season - is that some guys have great seasons will get cheated on setting club records - like its conceivable Eloy Jimenez has the ability to set a club record for HRs.
