Well, here comes Spring Training and here are the issues:
1) How much a distraction will the as yet unsuspended Clevinger be?
2) Will Giolito get back to the extra 2-3 mph on his fast ball that went missing last year - making his change up effective again?
3) Will Grifol be another manager promising change in culture and attention to detail who will fail to deliver either?
4) Who is going to fill the leadership void left by Pito's departure?
5) Will we be able to trust Oscar Colas's spring numbers knowing that he murders fast balls but has trouble with the breaking pitch - while the dry air in AZ cripples breaking pitch effectiveness?
6) How long - if ever - will it be before Lenyn Sosa takes 2nd base from Romy Gonzales (Romy is a AAAA player and Sosa has plus potential)?
7) Who will play SS while Timmy Anderson is off representing USA in the WBC?
8) Will the WBC players Moncado and Robert get untracked playing for Cuba?
9) Will Grandal play like the $70 million dollar man after a grueling workout regimen prior to a contract year?
10) Will Davis Martin, Sean Burke and Jonathan Stievers provide Rotation depth?
11) Will the White Sox - power hitters from 2020/2021 return or will we be back to the ground ball hitting team we saw last year?
12) Will the pitch clock ruin Rey Lopez and Matt Foster - the Sox's slowest pitch dealers?
