1. White Sox affiliates saw their fair share of great prospect performances over the weekend. In Charlotte, both Reynaldo Lopez and Carson Fulmer made starts in which they impressed. Lopez fired 5 ⅔ innings of two hit, two run ball on Saturday. He registered seven strikeouts, but he also walked five batters. Fulmer had a […]

Defining success: The prospects
The White Sox are in a situation recent memory is unfamiliar with as they enter the 2017 season devoid of hopes for contention. Because of this, it would be foolish to judge the successes or failures of the team based solely on wins and losses, but instead look at individual growth of certain players, trade […]
Spring Training Notes: Everyone says Carlos Rodon is fine
Carlos Rodon tossed live batting practice Wednesday and said he felt good, although there’s still no timetable for him appearing in a Cactus League game as the White Sox continue to monitor his progress after he experienced arm fatigue a season ago. The 24-year-old left-hander threw 40 pitches, and Rick Renteria said the plan is […]
The Maturity of Carson Fulmer
It feels as if its’s been a century since White Sox pitcher Carson Fulmer made his major league debut promptly after the All-Star Break in 2016. It was July 17th, the White Sox were clinging to a 45-46 record, and it still seemed as though there was a shred of hope left in the idea of salvaging the season at […]
White Sox Baseball Is Back
Due to the World Baseball Classic, Spring Training has been bumped up this year, and the White Sox have already played two games, losing to the Dodgers on Saturday and beating the Rockies on Sunday. As someone who inevitably fails to wholly follow this advice during his fantasy drafts, it is important to remember to […]
Alex Reyes Injury Brings Sobering Thoughts
It’s no secret that all pitchers carry injury risk. Even more concern surrounds young pitchers who may not have adjusted properly to the workload required to play professional baseball. This is evident in the many different forms of innings limits we’ve seen around the league in recent years, most notably in the cases of Stephen […]
Eating some of these innings
The White Sox may not have picked the best year to gut their pitching staff. Well, obviously they picked a great year to gut their pitching staff, since the free agency market is barren and all of their trade assets are worth their weight in gold, and worth more than their weight in prospects. This […]
There will be no fun had here
Rick Hahn announced Tuesday that the White Sox are not calling Zack Burdi nor Carson Fulmer up to the majors for September. From one, very real angle, this is a monumental drag. Much of the Sox bullpen and the back of the starting rotation are only tolerable with the aid of extreme feelings of professional […]
South Side Morning 5: Ain’t that just the way
It’s been too long. 1. Jon Heyman’s report on the White Sox being unlikely and unwilling to kickstart a rebuild or reloading of their farm system by trading Chris Sale or Jose Quintana, has three very typical elements of any update on Sox operations. –A refusal to do something radical or franchise re-shaping. –Assurance that […]
Goodbye Is For The Best, Fulmer
As the calendar has rapidly approached the second half of August with September on the horizon, baseball has nearly reached the official checkpoint of every MLB season when teams make their “September callups”. The feeling is in the air, with folks already seeing Braves top prospect Dansby Swanson making his major league debut on Wednesday, and next White […]
