This team has had great springs before and then shit the bed. Hell, we've even led the league in HRs in ST.
That said, Shields is a very, very good pitcher. Don't let my disdain for the trade that brought him here suggest differently. Our rotation is definitively better with him in it.
The question is whether the team is better with Shields, Davis, and Frenchy than it would be with FA + Mendoza + Myers.
I'm betting the latter. However, this still doesn't mean that I'm not going to be ****ing ready for the start of the season.
P.S.: **** the White Sox.
