Okay, for a moment let’s put on rose-colored glasses and suspend our disbelief: for the upcoming 2018 season, one of rebuild, what are the chances of the White Sox having a winning record or even make the playoffs? Forget the odds, if we believe it’s possible – and it is – how would they achieve this? What would need to happen?
As with most winning seasons, most if not all cylinders need to fire for the team. A bit of good fortune also helps, whether it’s getting the right bounces or not having many injuries. Over a 162-game season, all manner of things fortunate and not will tend to happen.
