White Sox fans have become used to seeing the team acquire all-star veterans who are past their primes. However, nothing could prepare White Sox fans for what they’ve endured over the past week and a half.
Newly acquired starting pitcher James Shields has not only had poor starts, but he’s been unable to last more than five innings in any contest. The White Sox designated Mat Latos for assignment before trading for Shields because Latos wasn’t able to go deep into games. John Danks was designated for assignment after yielding six earned runs against the Baltimore Orioles in April.
