Several pitchers (5) have 15 wins or more, be interesting to see if anyone can reach 30. Also, how many of our many repeat 20 game winners will return to that form.
Al Oliver (PITT) was lost for the season with an arm injury
Tommy John (CHW), interestingly enough, was lost for the season with an elbow injury
Last seasons AL MVP, Bill melton was dealt to the Pirates after a postgame tirade. In which he spoke very poorly of White Sox ownership and management.
In return the Pirates send over Bruce Dal Canton
