Projecting the roster was a popular idea among The Athletic’s beat writers during the Winter Meetings. Knowing that the primary questions of the White Sox roster had yet to be answered and were dependent on winning the bidding on at least a couple of premier free agents, I wimped out.



Now that the White Sox have loaded up their starting rotation, their designated hitter rotation, and even cleared up how they will address one of their “placeholder for a top prospect in waiting” situations, I think I’m ready to give it a quick spin.



This exercise is more about assessing what is currently in house than guessing which piece from a very down relief market the White Sox will end up with, but when we get to the bullpen, you’ll see there’s a hole yearning to be filled.
