My preseason take on the Chicago White Sox last year was worse than my picking Michigan State in my 2016 March Madness Bracket. Every possible positive outcome just didn’t happen.
A team that I thought could rally to a low-seeded Wild Card berth…did not. The White Sox didn’t even stumble or trip out of the starting gate. They didn’t even start running until over a month into the season, and slowly at that.
The disastrous domino effect took over. Second-year manager Pedro Grifol, in over his head from the start, was fired in August.
