Chicago White Sox tickets are on sale to witness a baseball team in the midst of a massive renovation. GM Kenny Williams has done his best to create a team that has both shed big contracts of former pivotal players and kept enough big names around that the fans at U.S. Cellular Field can maintain some hope. TheSeats has the White Sox baseball tickets to see just how good this MLB club is going to be over the course of the 2012 season schedule.

Chicago White Sox Tickets on Sale

Three years ago the White Sox dream of adding another World Series win to their franchise pedigree hinged on the ace capacity of Mark Beurhle and the all-world hitting ability of Carlos Quentin. Last season, Beuhrle again delivered a solid season, just not a season worthy of an ace on a contender. Quentin again succumbed to injuries, making it four consecutive seasons well short of 162 games. He still hit 24 home runs, but he also hit .254. In fact for the two seasons prior he had proven to be a very good power hitter, but a below average contact hitter lacking plate discipline.

Now, they are both gone. Beurhle found the White Sox uninterested in resigning him and Quentin headed west for a couple of prospects. Instead, John Danks is going to be asked to put up ace statistics and Paul Konerko will have to hope Adam Dunn simply had a horrid season. Danks did not have a stellar year in 2011, but 2012 could see him return to his previous incarnation as a 15 game winner with a solid ERA in the 3.50 area. Konerko has been remarkably consistent throughout his career. He is a .300 hitter able to post a near .400 OBP, and has 30-plus home run power. Konerko is also pretty decent at first despite his lack of foot speed.

For the 2012 MLB season schedule to be something more than opportunity to preview the youth movement on offense, the youth movement in the starting rotation needs to have matured. Danks and Gavin Floyd have been the future for quite some time. Jake Peavy needs to avoid injury and emerge from the funk that has inhibited his pitching performance since coming to Chicago. Phil Humber has an impressive first season as a starter despite being a five-year veteran who only seemed to come up during the pennant race. Chris Sale is a new project, a pitcher who spent a year in the bullpen, but who is supposed to be a MLB starter.

Chicago White Sox History

The Chicago White Sox franchise started with so much promise. The team won the World Series in 2006 and 1917 and played in the 1919 World Series, ultimately becoming the known as the Black Sox. The White Sox fans would wait 88 years until they would emerge champions again. Unlike beleaguered franchises like the Red Sox and Cubs, the White Sox enjoyed the quite a few very competitive seasons in the late 1950s and the 1990s, enjoying the play of Luis Aparicio, Nellie Fox, Frank Thomas, and Jack McDowell. These players could not win the World Series though. Instead it was a ragtag roster of role players and an overachieving pitching staff that won it in 2006. TheSeats has the Chicago White Sox tickets for the new season schedule to see if the baseball team can find the magic for another crazy run.
