The White Sox, currently struggling at the bottom of the MLB standings, have seen a positive turnaround with the debut of young players like catcher Grant Taylor. Assistant GM Josh Barfield emphasized the importance of gradual improvement and the successful integration of these players into the team. Manager Will Venable has been central to this process, providing not only a supportive environment but also constructive criticism. With a current 23-45 record, the Sox's performance has shown signs of improvement while still acknowledging the importance of wins and losses in the outlook for the season.
There's still a lot of road left in the season, but we wanted to see progress. We knew that we had some of these young guys coming up here, and we wanted to find the right time to get them up here and have some success.
Our guys with experience have done a tremendous job helping these guys get up to speed with their game planning, how to be a big leaguer, all kinds of stuff they are leaning on these guys for.
So far, manager Will Venable's calm, easy-going presence has been appreciated in the clubhouse. But Venable also is pointed and direct with his criticism, holding the club accountable.
