Melky Cabrera — In a season where favorite players were traded away left and right, Cabrera may have been the saddest of all the departures. He doesn’t have the same deep emotional attachment that Quintana bore, but he was just a whole lot of fun to watch play baseball. In every move it was apparent that […]

White Sox Season in Review: Carlos Rodon
Everybody has one of those players. You don’t know how, or why, they ended up being so important to you. But they did, and that’s all that matters. Other players on the team are exciting, and their success is certainly worth celebrating as much as their failures are worth lamenting. But nothing quite compares to […]

Lucas Giolito has been good
Lucas Giolito has now made six starts with the White Sox. He’s seen good results, posting a 2.58 ERA in 38.1 innings pitched with a somewhat disappointing 19.0% strikeout rate. This has come after his precipitous decline in prospect rankings where he went from potential ace to someone that could end being merely good in […]
South Side Morning 5: The good Carson Fulmer appeared
1. Things far more important than baseball were almost certainly circulating in Jose Abreu‘s mind this past weekend. With the homes and lives of nearly everyone he holds dear in danger thanks to hurricane Irma, Abreu had two of the best back-to-back games of his career.

Is Miguel Gonzalez good?
