The White Sox start off their spring season this afternoon by visiting That Other Team In Town, which already has two victories under its belt — against the Dodgers, no less.
Jared Shuster gets the honor of beginning the year on the mound, as the Sox take a look at stretching him into a starter even though he never went longer than three innings last year. Shuster will be followed by a cast of thousands, most in the “Huh? Who’s he?” category, but including Prelander Berroa, who in 19 innings with the Sox last year showed an excellent ability to miss bats (26 Ks) but also to miss the strike zone (13 walks).
