The Chicago White Sox have a few different options of who can DH at any point in the season for them. This depth could be a real strength to the offense.

The Chicago White Sox have been pretty inconsistent with the designated hitter position ever since they lost Jim Thome. He was a consistent power hitter for them during some fun seasons. Since then, they have not really had one of those really good designated hitters in their lineup. In 2020 that could be the case and they might not only have one guy who can do it.

They made some additions to their lineup over the winter that could see them slot a few different guys into that position. They could get it done by the committee when other guys need breaks or days off. They are all also capable of playing positions in the field which is really exciting for the team to think about. It has been a while since they have had a lineup that has all nine players that can hit the ball at a high level.

The good news is that it also can go beyond nine guys. That is why they are going to be able to fill in all of their positions in the field along with a designated hitter. The depth is also giving them options with how they handle everything as far as their lineup. This is going to be a group that is going to be able to score a lot of runs in 2020 as long as everyone contributes to the best of their abilities. These are the best three options for the designated hitter position this upcoming season:
