## Resource

Chicago White Sox Personnel Director Gene Watson joins Craig for their weekly conversation on all things MLB. First, they break down the increasing injuries across the sport and what they might mean about the way teams approach the game moving forward. Then, they go through some of the surprisingly fast or slow starts to the season in each division -- including the Braves' massive lead in the NL East, the Athletics' strong start in a murky AL West, and the Cubs' narrow lead in a competitive NL Central. Of course, they can't forget Gene's White Sox, who appear to be winning ahead of schedule in the AL Central.
