"Rookie pitcher Shane Smith was the White Sox All-Star representative. Fellow rookie pitcher Grant Taylor's stuff has been impressive, although he must be more consistent with his command. Mike Vasil has also established himself as a valuable Swiss-army knife in the bullpen during his rookie season. Younger veterans Miguel Vargas and Davis Martin are consistent forces, raising the team's overall floor despite lacking superstar upside."
"The White Sox are also getting positive contributions from veterans such as Mike Tauchman, Luis Robert Jr, and Michael A. Taylor. The club is hoping Martín Pérez's return from an elbow injury can eat up some innings for a young rotation that is starting to tire out. It will be interesting to see if these four veterans will be back with the team next season."
The Chicago White Sox posted a 47-83 record while rookies Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel, Edgar Quero and Chase Meidroth provided significant second-half offensive production. Those four combined for 33.1% of hits, 38.0% of home runs, 35.0% of RBI and 32.7% of runs scored in the second half. Rookie pitchers include All-Star representative Shane Smith, promising but inconsistent Grant Taylor, and versatile reliever Mike Vasil. Younger veterans Miguel Vargas and Davis Martin help lift the team's floor. Contributions from Mike Tauchman, Luis Robert Jr., and Michael A. Taylor plus Martín Pérez's hoped-for return complicate offseason roster decisions.
