I think what we saw in spring training, there was a couple of things that really made me happy.
Number one, you have everybody on the team hustling and I think that's a compliment to Will and his staff and the entire team buying into what they're preaching, which is look for the extra base, be as aggressive as possible,
Let's learn three or four different ways to win a game instead of just one, instead of just hitting the ball out of the ballpark.
And when we don't, we lose.
We can't have that if you want a successful season.
And I think Will is trying to impart to all of the players that hustle every play and good things will happen.
If you don't hustle every play, you will hear from me or somebody else on the staff.
But they don't set up any bombs.
They talk to these guys quietly.
They call them in.
They get their message across.
And I think we saw it in spring training.
We saw a very, very good, aggressive version of the White Sox team that's going to represent Chicago this year.
Well, certainly I think this team is going to be a little more powerful, and hopefully that turns out to be the case.
You know, you add a left-handed power hitter in Murakami, and that's something that this team certainly needed.
I think we saw with Colson the last half of the year, we saw what he can be,
Now, whether he carries it over or not, I don't know.
I tend to think he will.
I think he's got a lot of ability, and I think he started to truly believe in himself the second half of last year, and we saw the results of that.
So in looking at that, there's only a couple of things that have to work out in the Sox' favor for them to put together the kind of year that everybody would like to see.
