Very, very early returns in #WhiteSox Twitter& #39;s "depth" complaints all offseason. Below is White Sox Twitter& #39;s All Star Team (where Reinsdorf, budgets and the free market doesn& #39;t exist) vs. the White Sox depth that we& #39;ve been told does not exist. I understand it& #39;s very early.
The "I refuse to understand the Sox are owned by Reinsdorf & not Guggenheim" team.

George Springer - Hasn& #39;t played, two injuries
Joc Pederson - .095/.167/.238, wRC+ 15, 33.3 K%

**They are "competing" with TJ Zeuch & Tanner Roark in their rotation. (Depth > Starting pithing)

The #Yankees - Yesterday they started Jay Bruce, Mike Tacuhman and Tyler Wade in a lineup that had Aaron Hicks & Gleyber Torres hitting 3-4.
The #Twins have been playing well. However, their difference-making depth guys are the only players on the team not hitting. #WhiteSox fan heartthrob Jake Cave looking like the unsustainable BABIP& #39;s of years& #39; past were the only thing buoying up his 30%+ strikeout-based approach.
Did I mention it& #39;s early? We& #39;ll keep updating. We& #39;ll see how the Twitter armchair GM& #39;s would have done spending like Steven Cohen owns their MLB The Show team vs. how the Sox front office does spending like it& #39;s 2011 ( #WhiteSox 2021 Payroll is within $1M of 2011& #39;s Payroll)
