The White Sox and Chris Sale have recently talked contract extension for the 23-year-old lefty. The question has been asked whether or not it makes sense for the Sox to extend the young ace now, or wait a little bit.
The earliest that Sale could become a free agent is 2017, so the Sox have him under team control for the near future. However, Sale will become arbitration eligible...

March 06, 2013
The White Sox are always a peculiar team to me. They rarely come into a season with fanfare, but seem to ride a mix of veterans and mildly known young guys to a good enough record to not be horrible, but also not make the playoffs. the last time they made the playoffs was 2008 and since they’ve finished either 2nd or 3rd in the AL Central. How long can the White Sox continue...

March 07, 2013
The only thing consistent from year-to-year with Alex Rios is his inconsistency. In the last four years he’s had batting averages in the .240s, .260s, .280s, and .300s. I mean, seriously, it doesn’t get less consistent than that. In the last three years he’s had stolen base totals of 34 (career high), 11 (career low), and 23 (just right), and don’t even get me started on...
