Let’s face it, at this point many Chicago White Sox fans have turned their attention elsewhere as their team is just playing out the remainder of the 2013-14 season.
For many Chicago fans this means their attention has now turned to the Bears and the upcoming football season.
And who can blame them? After all, Chicago is still a Bears town and neither baseball team has done much to sway that opinion this season.
For those die-hard fans who are actually still paying attention, the rest of the baseball season gives them a chance to take a look at the future. It gives them the opportunity to see some of the young talent and hope for better things.
And there is reason for hope.
