Baseball is back. Pitchers and catchers have their first spring training workout today for the White Sox. Like it was at SoxFest, all the hoopla will center around Michael Kopech, Zack Collins, Alec Hansen and the other top prospects.
But let’s be honest, it’s farfetched to assume that all these top prospects will pan out and stay healthy. Reliever Zack Burdi already has fallen to the injury bug.
Take the New York Mets, for example. The Mets have a phenomenal pitching staff, but never stay healthy, and their farm system did not have the depth to weather the injury storm.
