Trayce Thompson excited to show White Sox he's 'that player'

Workouts and Golden State Warriors games have kept him plenty busy, but Trayce Thompson looks forward to getting back on the field.

The outfielder — who was at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday to watch his brother’s team rally from 23 down to beat the Los Angeles Clippers — is excited to try and back up the performance that put him squarely on the White Sox radar in 2015. Thompson hit .295/.363/.533 with five home runs and 16 RBIs in 135 plate appearances.

While the outstanding defense wasn’t much of a surprise, nobody expected Thompson would hit the way he did.
