White Sox Youngsters Have Major League Attitude, Skills
The White Sox are only 3 days into their spring training schedule, but their young prospects are already making noise. Dayan Viciedo grabbed the biggest headlines on Friday by taking ex-Sox Jon Garland deep in the second inning in Tucson. We've already seen Viciedo smoking batting practice...
4 Sox farmhands appear on Baseball America's Top 100
With a major h/t to DirtySox for making me aware the list had finally been posted, we finally have the Baseball America Top 100 Prospects of 2009 list. This year's edition contains four future (hopefully) White Sox: Gordon Beckham, Aaron Poreda, Dayan Viciedo, and Tyler Flowers. This is a very...
White Sox About to Sign Colon, For Reals
WSChamps05 can rest easy tonight. The Sox have apparently made a free agent move, signing the oft-injured, and perpetually overweight Bartolo Colon to a contract of indeterminate value. Sox fans should be very familiar with Colon, having watched him as a member of the Sox in '03, during...
Michael Young Requests Trade, We Request 5th Starter
A 4th starter would be nice too So those Michael Young rumors which seemed ludicrous at first suddenly have some substance to them as he has requested a trade after bristling at the idea of a position change. Young is a poor defensive SS, despite his recent Gold Glove win, and carries a...
The Evolution of Ozzie Guillen's Hook
Late in the season when I was upset that Ozzie Guillen's quick hook cost the Sox a game, I promised to revisit the issue at greater length over the off-season. With the holidays officially over and most of America returning to a more normal schedule Monday, it's time to get South Side Sox...
Who Pitches Saturday?
Monday's ceaseless rain has caused yet another pitching crunch for the White Sox. Without an off-day between now and Tuesday's double-header, one of today's starters (Javier Vazquez or Clayton Richard) has to go on short rest in their next start, or the Sox have to call upon another option. ...
Contreras Lost for Season, Most of Next
Jose Contreras was in top form for an inning and two-thirds Saturday night. His fastball was in the mid-90's. His forkball was dancing. He even ditched the sidearm delivery that so often gets him in trouble. Then he had to run to cover first base. With 2 outs in the second, Jacoby...
Gavin Floyd, Really?
Gavin Floyd once again flirted with a no-hitter Tuesday night to help the White Sox snap a 6-game losing streak. It was the third time this season that he's taken a no-hitter past the 5th inning. How's he doing it? Unfortunately, I have no idea. Before spring training, many of us were quite high...
