Are the 2015 White Sox Better Than the 2005 Squad?
The rest of the rotation

I’m not going to go extremely in-depth here, but I like what the White Sox have on paper for ’15. They boast the best frontline trio in the game in Chris Sale, Jeff Samardzija, and Jose Quintana.
Plus, they’ve got a future star in Carlos Rodon who could be in the rotation by the postseason, especially if Hector Noesi or John Danks falters.
The ’05 rotation was filthy in the playoffs, and posted four consecutive complete games in the ALCS against the Los Angeles Angels. However, a Sale/Samardzija/Quintana/Rodon playoff rotation might just have that ’05 bunch beat.
