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 […]

Anti-Hero Tim Anderson & Carson Fulmer Update
The baseball world was thrilled Sunday, as Tigers starter Matt Boyd entered the ninth inning and quickly secured two outs, having yet to give up a hit. Tim Anderson, acting as the final boss, got ahead 2-0 and pounced on an attempted backdoor slider, which hung and caught too much of the outside corner. Anderson’s […]
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. On Saturday he capped a tremendous night by legging […]
South Side Morning 5: Prospects, Roster Filler, And Avi
1. Lucas Giolito’s 7-inning, 10-strikeout gem in Sunday’s victory over the Rays wasn’t quite the complete game shutout our own Nick Schaefer boldly predicted would happen before the season began, but it represented a glimpse of why scouts and prospect analysts alike were drooling over the 23-year-old’s potential not all that long ago. James Fegan went […]

South Side Morning 5: What to do About Yoan Moncada

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 […]
