1. The White Sox have the worst rotation in baseball. You can pick nits here and there between them, the Royals, Marlins, and Orioles, but you can make a PRETTY strong argument that the White Sox have the worst. Carson Fulmer’s demotion Friday — following yet another disastrous start — made sense in that even in […]

South Side Morning 5: (Mostly) Beating the Royals
Five of the White Sox eight wins this season have come against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, a fact that says more about their ineptitude against non-Royals teams than about the team’s performance as a whole. Still, even after dropping the last two of the weekend’s five-game series against the 7-20 Royals, a solid stretch […]
South Side Morning 5: Lots of Positives!
As bad as the White Sox will likely be this season, what’s taken place over the last seven games wasn’t bound to continue in that manner. Coming off a weekend where they were outscored 27-2 in a three-game sweep at the hands of the Astros, the White Sox bats broke out for a 10-4 victory over the […]
South Side Morning 5: A normal baseball game where nothing weird happened
Wednesday’s 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays will be remembered — if it’s remembered for anything — for the unusual play in the top of the 5th inning that will ultimately go down as nothing more than an RBI single by Yoan Moncada. But five impressive innings from Carson Fulmer, two more home runs, and […]
Predicting the White Sox Opening Day Roster
We’re less than a week from the White Sox breaking camp and there are at least a few decisions to be made regarding the make-up of the roster March 29 against the Royals. It’s important to remember that these decisions aren’t the end-all. Lest we forget, last year the White Sox broke camp with Cody […]
Carson Fulmer and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad spring
Spring Training results may not matter, but Spring Training performances matter, at least to a certain extent. Carson Fulmer’s latest start on Wednesday — he walked three and allowed seven earned runs, including three home runs, in just 1 2/3 innings — qualifies as something that matters. The 24-year-old has now walked 10 and allowed […]
White Sox Bring Back Miguel Gonzalez On One-Year Deal
While the eerily passive offseason continues, the White Sox remain active, albeit in a modest fashion appropriate for their situation. On Wednesday, Miguel Gonzalez agreed to return to the South Side on a one-year, $4.75 million contract. After pouncing on Gonzalez once Baltimore put him on waivers in 2016, he and Don Cooper gelled marvelously and […]
Plethora of pitching prospects puts White Sox in good position
“Prospects will break your heart” is a phrase you’ve likely read on a good number of occasions on this site and others. “Pitching prospects will break your heart” is even more apt, as any scout or evaluator can likely rattle off a good dozen or so examples of pitching prospects who failed to live up […]
