The White Sox aren't wrong to look to the Brewers for inspiration, but they're missing one key component that can't be fixed overnight.
White Sox rebuilds remain difficult to power without international prospects - Sox Machine
The Brewers are one of the White Sox’s most prominent role models, which makes sense given both teams’ budgetary restrictions in divisions that lack a financial juggernaut, but Milwaukee’s top prospec...

The White Sox continued their aggressive revision of their 40- and 26-man rosters, but Derek Hill somehow survived the non-tender deadline.

The White Sox have so, so, so many plate appearances available to any outfielder who can earn them. @jrfegan.soxmachine.com writes about Everson Pereira's prospects of running with the opportunity after Tuesday's trade.
Everson Pereira is another White Sox post-hype project, and probably their most extreme yet - Sox Machine
The White Sox are not hyping up outfielder Everson Pereira as a major acquisition, which is probably prudent for a 24-year-old with a career .146/.227/.215 batting line and a 38.6 percent strikeout ra...
