KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Everybody likes to ask the same question this time of year: How many wins?
In the days leading up to Opening Day, I and everyone else that pays attention to the White Sox have answered that question with best guesses and informed predictions. But all of them have one thing in common. No matter the number, the White Sox win total is not expected to be enough to clinch a postseason berth.
And the truth is that expectation exists because the White Sox are still in the thick of their rebuilding process. And these things take time.
