Maybe Tim Anderson will be the answer to the growing questions the White Sox are confronting at shortstop.
The 22-year-old entered Thursday hitting .308 with a .741 OPS in 69 games for Class-AA Birmingham, his first full season back in his home state of Alabama. He has 25 steals in 31 attempts, 14 doubles and six triples, and his 89 hits lead the Southern League — in which players are, on average, two years older than him.
“I feel like I’ve come a long ways compared to where I was two years ago,” Anderson, the White Sox first-round pick in 2013, said.
