South Side Sox Roster Ranking: Round 23

Congratulations, Joakim Soria, you are the 22nd-most important member of the White Sox roster!

Soria has really settled down and has, somewhat improbably, made the White Sox closer role his own in the early going. He’s a flipping candidate in July, which is probably the primary factor in his earning 42% (15 of 36 votes).

Saturday night’s emergency starter of sorts is now in the mix.
