White Sox- hoping for a .500 season and some of the younger guys take another step up.
Cubs- plenty of talent still in the field to get them into the playoffs but the starting pitching and especially the pen still a concern for me.

Baseball to me has a couple of big problems that make the game boring.

One is pace of the game and second it's a no contact sport.

What should they do? Just add a couple of rules would really improve the game...

1. Once a hitter enters the batters box, he must stay there for the entire at bat.

2. Once the catcher catches the pitch, a 20 to 25 second pitch clock begins for the pitcher to release the next pitch in that allowed time.

Add Contact

Allow catchers again to block the plate. Allow runners again the ability to run over catchers blocking the plate.

These few rules would truly improve the game of baseball.
