The Chicago White Sox are primed to be a very improved team in 2015 after adding a plethora of top free agents. That being said, they still have plenty to work on and plenty of areas on their team they're not sure about. Here are their five biggest questions heading into spring training in a few weeks.

Eaton surprised a lot of people and batted .300 last season while knocking league-high 10 triples and swiping 15 bases. If he can even take a step up from that kind of play, he's going to be an All-Star before too long despite his lack of power.

Garcia only played 118 games over the past two seasons, and he's missed a lot of time with major injuries. He's a prospect everyone has started to forget about, but everybody is going to remember if he can stay healthy. That's because he has a ton of talent and the ability to take the White Sox to the next level.

3. Will Adam LaRoche Be A Consistent Producer?

On paper, LaRoche seems like a very nice add for the White Sox, but he's a pretty major question mark. Since he's likely to DH, not a whole lot will be asked of him physically, but he will have to hit for a decent average and display 20-25 home run power in order to be effective.

2. Can Chris Sale Stay Healthy?

Sale has missed parts of the past couple seasons with elbow injuries already, and that's concerning for such a young pitcher. If he stays healthy all year, the White Sox are in very good shape. However, if he can't stay healthy, it could bode poorly for the short and long term.

Last season, Jose Abreu was one of the best hitters in the American League. Abreu did face a slump in the middle of the season, but he battled back to be even better down the stretch. That shows that he can make adjustments, and if he can keep making them in 2015 and avoid a sophomore slump, the White Sox could be playing in October.
