Milledge's DFA as predictable as it is strange
There's a good chance that the White Sox won't miss Lastings Milledge in one way or another, so I hesitate to make too big a deal out of their strange decision to designate him for assignment on Thursday morning. At the same time, it's really hard to figure out why it happened, regardless of...
White Sox look better from above
One of the fun things about blogging the White Sox is that you have to negotiate a wide variety of sentiments, based on who is conducting the evaluation. The conflict is on full display this week -- those looking mostly at the 25-man roster feel pretty good about the Sox, and those studying...
Hush money: White Sox pick up Guillen's 2012 option
The first day of SoxFest stored a pleasant surprise for Ozzie Guillen, as the Sox picked up his option for 2012. On the same day, he launched OzzieGuillen.com. I doubt the Sox brass planned a tandem announcement, but it might as well have been a joint venture. Based on what Kenny Williams did this...
SoxFest questions fans should ask
At the end of this week, we'll reach an important mile marker in the passage of winter: SoxFest. Even for an out-of-area fan like me, I love SoxFest for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it usually forces the final contracts to get hammered out, since dried ink is required for players to...
On the Second Day of Christmas My GM Gave to Me, Two More Relievers and an Outfielder to Bury Teahen on the Bench
Well not yet exactly, but its coming soon. An addition here or there and the 25 man roster is pretty much set. About four more White Stockings are still hung from the chimney this year. Kenny Williams, a big fan of an old fashion Christmas, is sure to be filling them with care. Juan Pierre,...
Meet GM Candidate Rick Hahn
Of all the candidates interviewing for the Mets GM position this week, the one with the largest gap between reputation and what we actually know about him is almost certainly White Sox assistant general manager Rick Hahn. We know Baseball America had him ranked as the #1 GM prospect in baseball...
Sox Lose Again, But Focus Remains Off Field
The White Sox couldn't solve Brian Matusz Wednesday night, and were unable to pickup a game on the Twins, who also lost. That should be the main story on a late-August night when the Sox are 3.5 games back of first place. Tonight, however, it's a distant third to a pair of off-field issues. First,...
Lerew Reminds White Sox: You're Still A Few Bats Short
Free from the pressure of trying to continue one of the hottest streaks in team history and no longer able to beat up on the lesser National League, the Royals were supposed to provide a soft cushion for the White Sox return to American League play. The Royals sent some guy named Anthony Lerew to...
White Sox Finally "Publicly" Acknowledge Trade Intentions
In a series of tweets, Buster Olney announced what we've all been waiting to hear; the White Sox are in fire sale mode. Heard this from multiple executives: The White Sox have made it clear they are open for business, and ready to trade off parts from what has been a very disappointing team. The...
White Sox Drop Series to Royals; Time to Take Look in the Mirror
There's no more denying that the White Sox are a bad team. We're 6 full weeks into the season and the Sox have a total of two series wins, have a winning record against only one team (the lowly Seattle Mariners, who the Sox walked-off twice and won all three games by 1-run on homers in the last...
