TEAMS: Chicago White Sox
The biggest name in Chicago baseball players filing for free agency is Mark Buehrle. The White Sox had three more aside from him file as well in Ramon Castro, Juan Pierre, and Omar Vizquel. With Buehrle clearly being the most important to re-sign, is there a future in black and silver for the other three names? The answer is most likely no for all of them.
Ramon Castro: While Castro has shown some promise in a backup role since being acquired for Lance Broadway, he broke his finger last year and missed most of the second half of the season giving the youngster Tyler Flowers some time to shine. The White Sox have no intention of getting rid of the promising Flowers, who showed signs of what the Sox expected late last year. Look for Castro to leave the South Side in the offseason.
Juan Pierre: After disappointing starts to the last two seasons, Pierre becomes quite the catalyst after mid-June. Unfortunately, his defensive gaffes last year left Sox fans shaking their heads. His ...

Chris Sale Player Projection No. 159
Key Stats: Chris Sale had an 0.84 WHIP in the second half of last season and struck out 41 hitters in 34.2 innings. That’s domination. Of course Sale accomplished all of this as a reliever and skeptics will argue that it’s easier to pitch when he is being brought into favorable situations. That certainly is the case to some extent, but as far as his lefty/righty splits, Sale...
