White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams is typically optimistic at this point in spring training, but he said Tuesday he has “not been this excited about the White Sox future in a long, long time.”
The enthusiasm has come as Williams has perused the back fields at Camelback Ranch this spring to watch a new crop of prospects that are expected to jumpstart the club’s rebuilding project. Williams said he “absolutely” wanted to embark on the process this offseason, when the club acquired six of their top 10 prospects in the Chris Sale and Adam Eaton trades.
