TEMPE, Ariz. -- I want to thank all of those individuals who submitted questions to our Reporter’s Inbox for the White Sox. Here are a few more inquiries as we approach one month in Arizona.

What should Sox fans be most excited about this season?
-- Matthew Hernandez

The young talent running throughout the system stands No. 1. It’s a group coming together and showing great maturity in association with the lofty future expectations. Looking solely at 2019, focus on the Major League arrival of top prospects Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease?

Let’s also not forget a healthy season from Carlos Rodon, who has top-of-the-rotation capabilities. I’ll add in the expected growth of Yoan Moncada after a rough first full campaign in ’18.

Does anyone think (Zack) Collins and (Seby Zavala) will be the Sox catching tandem in the big leagues?
-- Brian, Algonquin, IL, @BMorris2711

There’s a chance both Collins and Zavala reach the Majors at some point in ’19. I would guess Collins, the No. 12 White Sox prospect per MLB Pipeline, arrives as a combination of catcher/first base/designated hitter. I asked general manager Rick Hahn recently about this pair being the catchers of the future, and he said they remain “bullish” on both of them and think they could play roles on a championship team if they continue to develop.

Hahn added that particular belief wouldn’t preclude them from adding another catcher in the future. Collins and Zavala certainly have a strong belief in their own ability behind the plate, but with both starting at Triple-A Charlotte, they also will see time there at first.

Do you think Rodon will be the Opening Day starter? Who else is in the mix?
-- no name provided

That decision hasn’t been made official, but Rodon should be the Opening Day starter. In fact, his Cactus League starts line up with him facing the Royals on March 28 with a little extra rest.

How did (Ervin) Santana look (Wednesday) and will he be the fifth starter? Is there any interest in Gio (Gonzalez)?
-- Mark, @madler1023

According to manager Rick Renteria, Santana got his off-day work in and continued moving forward. Santana is taking the one step at a time approach after last season’s surgery on his right middle finger and the ensuing struggles. He is working with no pain, and if he’s ready to go at the season’s outset, Santana will complete the White Sox rotation. As of Renteria’s media session Friday, it sounds as if Santana’s next two outings won’t be in Cactus League games.

I’ve not heard any White Sox interest in Gonzalez. They certainly are familiar with the lefty after drafting him, trading him twice and trading for him once.

What are your thoughts on (Blake) Rutherford making it to the show this year? I believe he is one of our most overlooked prospects, the guy has all the tools.
-- Jon, Munster, Ind., @Comiskey4Life

Rutherford, the team’s No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, already has been reassigned to Minor League camp but made a solid impression during his limited time on the big league side. At 21, he’s one of the plethora of young outfield prospects in the White Sox system.

Not all of them will make it to the Majors, and not all of them will make it as part of the White Sox, but Rutherford certainly has the talent to get there albeit not in ’19. He is learning from some of the best through offseason workouts with players/friends such as Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun and Mike Moustakas.

Any chance the Sox take a shot at Craig Kimbrel?
-- Kristian, Kansas City, @krisbernardo118

Your line of thinking goes in-step with none other than Chuck Garfien, who mentioned building a super bullpen with Kimbrel when I was a guest on his Podcast recently. The White Sox certainly have improved their bullpen with the additions of Alex Colome and Kelvin Herrera, but I don’t see them trying to add Kimbrel.
