Erick Threets was the latest member of the bullpen to hit the DL, but he hit it hard. Tommy John surgery will end his season, and it deals a surprisingly large blow to his team’s chances as well.
Following up: Bunting Pierre over
Juan Pierre has succeeded when stealing late in games, but still saves most of his running for the first half of games.
White Sox running bases backwards
Ozzie Guillen isn’t afraid of letting his players run … at least until a stolen base would count the most.
Thome twists the knife, but not in Guillen
Believe you me, I’m not thrilled to bring up Jim Thome. We all know that I wanted him back, and most of you were and are on the same boat. That Mandruw Kojones has failed to match his production isn’t a surprise nor a revelation. I could probably find a way to trace every flaw [...]
Questions in the wake of the Hudson trade
Fire up the doubt machine. Making his Arizona Diamondbacks debut, Daniel Hudson threw eight innings of one-run ball, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out four. This is the kind of start I simultaneously wanted to see and hoped wouldn’t happen. It’s fitting, because entering our third day since the trade for [...]
Thanks to Peavy, Sox should stand pat
Though we had dreams of Daniel Hudson staking a black-and-white flag on Dallas Braden’s mound at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on Sunday, he ended up making an entirely different kind of statement with his disappointing performance in the White Sox’s 6-4 loss. Simply put, it was, “Trades probably aren’t going to help.” Lest I sound overdramatic, [...]
All right with left side of infield
Alexei Ramirez dropped jaws with an incredible play for the penultimate out of the White Sox’s 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. He ranged far to his right, and with all his momentum carrying him toward third, uncoiled and launched an on-target one-hop throw scooped by Paul Konerko. What makes it all [...]
Sox have small window to right past wrongs
Watching Scott Podsednik and Juan Pierre contribute RBI singles in the White Sox’s 4-3 victory over Kansas City on Tuesday reminded me that it had been a while since I compared them. Just like last year, they’re proving to be pretty similar players: PA 2B 3B HR SB CS BB K BA OBP SLG Podsednik [...]
White Sox reach .500 … now what?
The Chicago White Sox entered June with big aspirations and a big homestand, only to lose two of three series, including yet another one to the lowly Cleveland Indians. Kenny Williams then declared that his team was open for business. Perhaps that was a wakeup call. Or maybe it was a bit of luck and [...]
Williams’ White Sox are built in his image
Baseball America has updated its draft database with signings, and for those keeping track, the White Sox have agreed to terms with four of its top 10 selections thus far: Jacob Petricka (2nd), $540,000 Addison Reed (3rd), $358,200 Thomas Royse (3rd), $263,500 Rangel Ravelo (6th), $125,000 BA also graded team drafts throughout the decade, and [...]
