## Resource

Chuck Garfien sits down with Brian Kenny to discuss whether the White Sox are for real and what their recent stretch against the Braves and Dodgers says about the team's progress. Brian compares the White Sox rebuild to successful turnarounds from the past, weighs their chances of winning the AL Central, and breaks down the breakout seasons of Miguel Vargas and Davis Martin. They also discuss the role of technology in hamate bone injuries, preview his upcoming conversation with Ozzie Guillén, and look back on his memorable debate with legendary White Sox announcer Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson on MLB Network.
