White Sox Top Twenty Prospects
John Sickels produced his Top Twenty White Sox prospect list and it’s sad to say that the system is pretty thin right now. Their top guy was given a B+ and you get into the C+’s pretty quickly. Topping the list is Nestor Molina who came over from the Blue Jays. The big question here [...]

Mark Buehrle’s Move to Miami is Official
It’s official. After 12 seasons, 2,476 2/3 innings and 161, Mark Buehrle is no longer a White Sox. With eleven seasons over 200 innings, Buehrle has been a work horse for the team and he’s usually done with above average pitching. He doesn’t have much of a chance to win a Cy Young (he’s only [...]

White Sox Gives John Danks Five Year Extension
The White Sox gave John Danks the biggest contract they’ve ever given to a pitcher with a five year, $65 million extension. He’s still only 26 and he’s put together some nice seasons for the White Sox. Last year’s disastrous first couple of months (he started 0-8) really tested his mettle and he bounced back [...]

White Sox Adjust 40 Man
The White Sox made some adjustments to their 40 man roster as the deadline to set it for the Rule 5 draft came and went. Deunte Heath and Charlie Leesman were both added to the 40 man and that means no player can pick them up during the Winter Meetings in the Rule 5 draft. [...]

White Sox Offer Mark Buehrle Arbitration
With the current compensation rules around for one more year, the White Sox are trying to pick up a draft pick as they offered Mark Buehrle arbitration. Buehrle is a Type B free agent so the White Sox will get a sandwich pick out of the deal if he goes somewhere else. A pretty good [...]

White Sox Look to Regroup Offense in 2012
The White Sox are watching the playoffs for another year and while this one was kind of disappointing because we were in the mix in August, the team didn’t get the job done. Paul Konerko was head and shoulders the best hitter on the field for the White Sox with another fantastic season. His 31 [...]

Jake Peavy Strikes Out Nine In White Sox Win
The White Sox may have fallen out of the race but Jake Peavy got it done and he could be a bright spot in the rotation next year. He improved to 7-7 and he gave up four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in 6 1/3 shutout innings. Sergio Santos struck out two in [...]

White Sox Not Done Yet
Man, for a while it looked like the White Sox were checking out. They didn’t do much at the trade deadline and then they dropped six games at the end of July and into the beginning of August. Since then, they’re won seven of their last nine and they’re a game under .500 and five [...]

White Sox Need to Get Past Tough Schedule
For the first time since mid-April, the White Sox were a .500 team. That didn’t last long because they fell to the Boston Red Sox yesterday in an 10-2 beatdown. The good news is, the Tigers lost but the both of those teams made some additions at the trade deadline. The more immediate problem for [...]

Jake Peavy Throws Four Shutout Innings In White Sox Win
Four pitchers combined to shutout out the Nationals today as the White Sox do their best to creep up in the standings. John Danks left the game early with an injury and Jake Peavy got the bulk of the action with four shutout innings with seven strikeouts. In all, the four White Sox hurlers struck [...]

White Sox Turn It Up
The White Sox still sit in fourth place in the American League Central but if second place is an immediate goal, they’re almost there. They’ve won two straight and seven of their last ten and they now sit at 22-26. Not impressive, but they’re only two game back of the second place Tigers. They still [...]

White Sox
The White Sox went 2-5 this week ending with the Angels sweeping them. Injured starter, Jake Peavy, is due back quite soon. “[I am] just waiting for the days to come up and see what happens,” said Guillen. “Right now, I want Jake back. But I don’t count on him right away because that’s too [...]

White Sox 2011
The White Sox just signed Cuba native, Alexei Ramirez, to a four-year, $32.5 million contract. It seems as if Ramirez wants to spend his entire career on the south side of Chicago. Though Ramirez played centerfield at first, his successful transition to shortstop gives the Sox one of the best double play combinations in the [...]

White Sox Sign Will Ohman
Last week the White Sox were looking at Rafael Soriano but it looks like they opted for a lower cost option and signed Will Ohman to a two year, $4 million deal. Ohman’s a lefty and he’s made his rounds, pitching for five different teams over his major league career. I don’t like all of [...]

Sox Looking at Rafael Soriano
If you’re a Sox fan, you have to be pretty happy about the offseason. They got Paul Konerko back and slugger Adam Dunn is in the fold. One hole though is at closer and now that Bobby Jenks is on board with the other Sox (Red Sox), the White Sox need to move on. Apparently [...]

Close Konerko
The White Sox have definitely been busy this offseason. First they made a big splash by signing Adam Dunn to short up their lineup. Then they re-signed Paul Konerko. What’s interesting about that is that it almost didn’t happen. Apparently the White Sox were close to walking away but a day later, Konerko was back [...]

White Sox Lock Up Omar Vizquel For Another Year
The Chicago White Sox gave themselves some veteran insurance in the form of Omar Vizquel at a decent price of $1.75 million. Vizquel was pretty much forced into playing a lot of third base last year and while that’s not the plan for 2011, you just never know. He’ll probably see most of his time [...]

White Sox Slim Playoff Chances Go Up In Smoke Against Tigers
The White Sox were in the playoff mix for some time and while their chances were still pretty slim the last week or so, that all went out the window this week with three straight losses to the Twins and now two more to the Detroit Tigers. At this point, the White Sox magic number [...]

World Series or Bust
With only one chance left to get into the post season, the Sox pulled off a great win against the Twins to be back in the running for a World Series since 2005, when they won the championship. To have a chance to keep playing, John Danks needed to have a great game against a [...]

Overpowered by a Rookie
The more experienced Sox knew they had a chance in the game, but Rays rookie Evan Longoria came up big and hit two home runs to power the Rays past the Sox for a 6-4 victory and a 1-0 lead in the series. Dewayne Wise did his part in hitting a three run homer in [...]

Time to Buy?
As 2008 winds down, I’m still waiting for the White Sox to bring in some talent as opposed to giving it away. It’s only been a couple of months since they won the division in the final days of the season and now, it looks like the White Sox have more holes then they had [...]

Danks Wants Out, Thornton Wants In
John Danks turned out his chance to plays in this years World Baseball Classic. I have to commend the decision and while I really enjoyed the inaugural WBC, I didn’t like what it did to some of the guys (just look at Jake Peavy’s numbers that year). Danks said his obligation was to the White [...]

A day after being shut out themselves to the Tampa Bay Rays, the Sox followed up their loss with a 6-0 win in Tampa to not only win the game but the series. Jim Thome helped out the Sox offense by hitting his 512th home run and continues to make his mark on history. Thome [...]
