Welcome back to another day of 30 Teams in 30 Days! Moving on up the AL Central is the Chicago White Sox who finished 2nd in the division at the end of the 2010 season. The White Sox finished the season with 88 wins and 74 losses, a winning percentage of .543. The White Sox had a strong end of the season, but suffered some setbacks throughout the entire season. One of them being losing ace pitcher Jake Peavy, who suffered on of the worst injuries imaginable. The muscle in his shoulder became detached. Ouch. Also, the White Sox acquire Manny Ramirez, who did practically nothing with the White Sox. Regardless, the White Sox have an overall solid team this year and really will be in contention and may even take the AL Central from the Twins. Juan Pierre, Alex Rios, and Carlos Quentin are in the outfield. Three solid players who can hit, run, steal, and field the ball well. Second baseman Gordon Beckham had an amazing finish to the 2010 season and would even be a good fantasy choice. Shortstop Alexi Ramirez will be back with the White Sox this season after extending his contract in the 2010 off season. A.J. Pierzynski will be backing up the plate once again and Paul Konerko will be at first. The White Sox lineup is very similar to their 2010 lineup. But the biggest move the White Sox did in the off season was the signing of Adam Dunn. Dunn will be the White Sox's DH and posts great numbers and averages 40 home runs per season. I wish the White Sox luck in the 2011 season and I think that all other teams are "Dunn." (I couldn't resist the pun.)
