The White Sox rebuild could be going a lot better.

Moncada has not curbed the K rate problems and it makes him a much less impactful player than he could be or was thought to be.

Kopech and Reynaldo Lopez still have time to put it together. Dylan Cease hasn’t debuted yet and could be better than either of them.

Jimenez looks legitimate to me, but it sure they’re going to get enough from the rest of the roster to successfully complete the rebuild.

Re: Indians... woof, that lineup is bad.

Lindor and Ramirez are legitimate stars (though Ramirez’s struggles down the stretch last year may have revealed a way to attack him), but the lineup gets thin in a hurry after them.

They added Jake Bauers and Carlos Santana, who are good OBP/25 Hr bats, but it’s just a bunch of guys otherwise. Their pen is also pretty weak compared to previous years.

They’ll win the Central, probably, with around 90 wins. But their window looks to be closing.
