The White Sox Projected Lineup

As we mentioned earlier, the rebuild still isn’t quite complete on the South Side of Chicago. After a 100-loss season in 2018, there’s certainly plenty of work that remains to be done before the Sox can call themselves a legitimate World Series contender.

However, with a top-five farm system in all of baseball and seven of the top 100 prospects according to MLB.com, we have a pretty good idea of what the White Sox roster will look like now that it’s time to put the plan into action.

Again, it’s certain that there will be some noticeable changes to the lineup if the Sox were to make a significant trade or free agent signing, but let’s break down what the Sox have heading into 2019 as an impending playoff contender ideally after this year.
