Here is why. Last season, the Brewers were 42-29 (.592) when he scored a run and 22-61 (.265) when he did not . If he can stay hot like he has been all throughout ST and just be able to get on base, the Sox success rate skyrockets. Whether a walk, HBP, single, dropped-3 strike, or whatever, if Pods gets on base, the Sox will play better. 42-29...that 13 games over .500 and almost a .600 win percentage. He can improve the Sox a lot this year. Another key with Pods is that he doesnt get into long slumps or hitless streaks. Pods was held hitless in more than two straight games only once (three games, 8/21-23). That is amazing. The other factor in this is the Sox 2, 3, 4, and 5 hitters. Are they going to be able to get him over and get him in. I surely hope so. It's up to the first 5 in the order this year. Get ready for an exciting season of White Sox baseball.
