The biggest thing about the World Baseball Classic for the White Sox, (or any team really) is that all of the players make it out healthy. Managers all across the league have to be biting their fingernails to the nub watching their players risk injury for an exhibition tournament. However, the White Sox organization could quietly reap the benefits of strong outings from Quintana, Robertson, and Jones. With the injuries suffered by many starters around the league already (Price, and Reyes are the big ones here) and the importance of the bullpen in today’s game, the trade value for the White Sox big 3 could skyrocket if they perform to their potential at the tournament.
Great outings or not, prayers up that they all make it out unscathed.
