What Will Ozzie Guillen's Preferred Lineup Look Like?
In a word: UGLY Mark Kotsay is swinging a hot bat in the Cactus League, so Ozzie Guillen is apparently considering batting him 3rd against right-handers. Guillen is also "leaning towards" leading off Omar Vizquel over Alexei Ramriez or Juan Pierre against left-handers. I shouldn't have to tell you...
Kenny Always Gets His Man
I found myself with a little time to kill before taking off on another jet plane and, conveniently, the White Sox decide to make a move. So no complaining about a lack of analysis from the editors. hoodlight. First the particulars: the White Sox receive Juan Pierre from the Dodgers, along with...
Beckham to the Leadoff Position? And Other Less Than Good Ideas.
The main focus fell upon the White Sox leadoff hitter, or lack thereof, at this point. Gordon Beckham would be the most likely present candidate to fill that spot, but Guillen didn't sound as if Beckham would be a long-term solution."A lot of people are saying that, and he's the one right now, in...
I'm Back
"It's a good acquisition," manager Ozzie Guillen told reporters Tuesday afternoon after the Sox' game in Detroit against the Tigers was rained out. ... Podsednik takes Owens' spot at Triple-A and is just a phone call away. "(Podsednik) is going to play center field there just in case we need...
White Sox Week in Review
A look back at the week that was in White Sox baseball Opening Day got pushed back due to snow. Jim Thome hit a late-inning homer to give the Sox a victory on delayed opening day Gavin Floyd pitched well, but Zack Greinke pitched better as the Sox got shutout for the first time this year...
White Sox Offense Absent in April, Again
The White Sox offense has scored 5 runs in 3 games this season. The only reason we're not talking about a sweep, or 3 blowouts, is that Sox pitching has allowed only 2 run in each of the 3 games. There comes a point when you have to stop giving credit to opposing pitchers and look in the mirror...
Jim Thome Homers Same Ol' White Sox to Victory
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The White Sox have become known as an old, slow, team that relies on homers to win games, and they didn't do much to dispel that notion in Tuesday's 4-2 opening day victory over the Royals. There was the bases loaded nobody out situation...
Kenny Williams Wants to Create Frankenstein Leadoff Man
Kenny Williams defended the White Sox odd choice for a leadoff man, presumably before Dewayne Wise meagerly struck out in his first two at-bats."The easiest thing in the world is to say you have to go out and get a leadoff hitter, get the prototypical guy who can hit you .300 and get on base at...
White Sox Settle Center Field, Leadoff Mess... for now
The unceremonious dismal of Jerry Owens (along with a few others) has made the White Sox opening day roster all-but-official. But the Owens news is the longest-running, most headline-grabbing battle of futility, so we'll start there first. "I was disappointed," Guillen said of Owens,...
White Sox Still Riddled with Roster Questions
While the beat writers start to ring the alarm bell on the health of Mark Buehrle, Ozzie Guillen seems concerned (with good reason) about the backend of his rotation. The Sox will send Bartolo Colon to the mound in a Cactus League game Wednesday, and the Sox will be closely monitoring his velocity....
