The Chicago White Sox have been mired in mediocrity for the past five seasons. From poorly executed trades, to refusing the stretch the pocketbook, the Sox haven’t been able to sustain much success since Robin Ventura was hired as manager.
The hire of Ventura was dismissed by many Sox fans, but it was lauded by one person. Ken Williams. The same person who oversaw a World Championship on the South Side as general manager. Williams praise of Ventura appeared to be unjustified at the time of his hire after the 2011 season.
