After a 1-5 start to the season, the White Sox find themselves 16-18 and just a few games out of the lead in both the AL Central. We know how bad the AL Central tends to be.... so could the White Sox be a real threat for the division after sweeping the Angels and taking a series from the Padres?
Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Nik Gaur discuss this question and what they would need to see to feel that the White Sox really could take advantage of a weak division. Plus, they also discuss Sean Burke's emergence, Drew Romo's potential breakout, and whether Tristian Peters will continue to eat into Luisangel Acuna's playing time.
This and much more on another packed episode!
