May 17, 20214 yr The White Sox have the best record in baseball, the best run differential, the best ERA in the AL, and are ranked #1 in the Athletic and ESPN power ratings. Yet, the team has a lot of guys in their first full year of MLB, if you consider that last year was a truncated season. DH - Yermin Mercedes LF - Andrew Vaughn CF - Luis Robert 2B - Nick Madrigal Backup catcher - Zack Collins SP/RP - Michael Kopech RP - Garrett Crochet RP - Codi Heuer RP - Matt Foster That's 9 guys on a 26 man roster who are playing significant roles. Do any other teams with winning records have this number of rookies playing significant roles? This is a good and a bad thing. Good in that these guys should get better. Bad in that they all may still have some growing pains. Still, it's an impressive group.
