Chemistry and camaraderie are extremely important to winning in baseball, if you believe most players.
Entering the 2011 season, the White Sox were the consensus favorite to win the American League Central. One year later, however, it's a completely different story.
If the White Sox harbor any hopes for rebounding from a terrible season last year they will need bounce back years from Jake Peavy, Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham.
Peavy is clearly frustrated with how his career with the White Sox has gone, admitting that he came to the White Sox injured and has pretty much had something hurting ever since.
Consider the White Sox a dangerous dark horse in 2012. To get you ready for the off-season, here are five burning White Sox questions for the winter.
Kenny Williams lost his poker bet, after he pushed Jerry Reinsdorf's chips to the middle of the table and birthed a regrettable marketing slogan.

A.J. Pierzynski homered twice among his four hits and drove in four runs as the Chicago White Sox snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 10-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen no longer sees the fight in his team. Paul Konerko doesn't see it, either. The Chicago bullpen blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the White Sox 6-5 in 10 innings on Wednesday.
Alex Rios hit a game-ending grand slam in the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 7-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.
The shortage of production from Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham recently lead to a heated confrontation between general manager Ken Williams and hitting coach Greg Walker, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Juan Pierre's game-ending single in the 14th inning capped a wild, five-hour marathon as the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 8-7 on Tuesday night.
White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko is once again out of the lineup Wednesday and will miss his third straight start.
Ozzie Guillen kept his cool after his team let an early lead slip away, and he had a good reason for his optimistic outlook. By taking two of three from the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox showed they could compete with another AL Central contender.
Trying to come up with reasons to look forward to the White Sox in the second half of the season is not that easy given the cynicism that crept in after their first 92 games. But there are some things for White Sox fans to rally around.
For the Chicago White Sox, this seemed like an appropriate All-Star break send-off -- another lousy performance, another loss. For good measure, throw in some extra angst over Jake Peavy's arm, too.
Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself. The game is a joke but that's a story for another day. What I'm talking about is having a few days away from the terrible season we are witnessing on both sides of town.
Juan Pierre laced a tiebreaking, two-run single off the wall in the 10th inning, helping the Chicago White Sox rally for a 6-4 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Recently, there was some hope perking up from the South Side. After their 11-22 start, the White Sox had gone 27-18 heading into Sunday's game and were within three and half games of first place. Anybody feeling that great today?
It's time for the Sox to live up to their marketing slogan. The usual crutch of Interleague Play has netted them a 7-6 record thus far, and a grueling 19-game stretch inside the A.L. Central is on the horizon.
Jake Peavy and Gordon Beckham have been out of the lineup for very different reasons, but both will be extremely happy when they take the field Wednesday.
Gordon Beckham will sit for the third straight game tonight as the White Sox take on Matt Garza and the Cubs.
