About this Article

Fielding separates the White Sox and Tigers in the American League Central race like a couple hundred horsepower separates a Ferrari from a Focus. The Sox catch the ball routinely and throw it accurately. The Tigers, well, not so much. Defense isn't a sexy aspect of the game. Chicks dig the longball and the pitchers who make TV commercials saying as much.
