Players to Watch: Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers
Chicago White Sox
Sam Antonacci — LF. Antonacci has settled into a steady role in the White Sox order, hitting .280 with a .368 on-base percentage. His .409 slugging mark gives Chicago some length near the bottom of the lineup, adding extra-base pop without sacrificing contact.
Munetaka Murakami — 1B. Murakami supplies the power in Chicago’s lineup, hitting .234 with 26 home runs and 54 RBIs at first base. He gives the White Sox a legitimate home run threat every time he steps to the plate against Detroit’s pitching staff.
Miguel Vargas — 3B. Vargas has been a run-producing presence at third base, driving in 68 runs to go with 25 home runs and a .232 average. His extra-base pop pairs with Murakami’s to give Chicago a middle-of-the-order combination that can change a game with one swing.
Detroit Tigers
Kevin McGonigle — SS. McGonigle has emerged as a table-setter for Detroit, hitting .286 with a .390 on-base percentage. His .426 slugging mark shows he can do more than just get on base, giving the Tigers a shortstop capable of extra-base damage.
Dillon Dingler — C. Dillon Dingler has quietly put together a breakout year behind the plate, hitting .264 with 26 home runs and 81 RBIs. That kind of power production from a catcher gives the Tigers a middle-of-the-order threat that lengthens the lineup.
