The 2016 Fantasy Chicago White Sox are very top heavy. But unlike a year ago, there’s some value in the later rounds as some progressing young players coupled with a wave of offseason acquisitions has brought new life to a barren roster. The stars like Chris Sale and Jose Abreu are no-brainers, but a few […]

South Side Morning 5: Baseball in Cuba
It would be understandable if the day’s events made it feel like a Spring Training game involving the Tampa Bay Rays was not the most transformative thing going down Tuesday. Luckily, the White Sox have Jose Abreu‘s perspective on hand.
Now or Later? A look at when we might see Carson Fulmer, Tim Anderson in Chicago
The White Sox minor league system is pretty easy to figure out: At the top, you’ve got Tim Anderson and Carson Fulmer. Or Carson Fulmer and Tim Anderson, depending on how you want to rank them. Personally, I’d go 1. Anderson, and 2. Fulmer, but that comes with the caveat that White Sox hitting prospects […]

There’s actually fault for everyone to take in the LaRoche flap
Jerry Reinsdorf issued a statement Sunday saying he “did not believe there is anyone directly to blame” in the week-long Adam LaRoche debacle that attracted gawkers for hundreds of miles.

In sum, Reinsdorf thinks entire week-long conflagration — which found its way to national headlines and included both LaRoche and Light […]
Sale, LaRoche sharpen focus on Williams as Sox clubhouse rift continues

Sale, […]
Jacob Turner: Potential Fifth Starter or Bullpen Dark Horse?
With the season looming closer each day, the White Sox are still searching for the answer to the question many are posing, “Who will be the White Sox fifth starter?” since with John Danks being the team’s largest monetary expense in 2016, it’s only safe to assume he will be taking on the role of fourth […]
LaRoche snafu puts White Sox in unkind national spotlight
The White Sox have comfortably operated with unchecked weirdness outside the national spotlight for some time now, in a place where the franchise player tearing into team president Kenny Williams is variations on a theme, not breaking news.
White Sox bullpen could have strength in numbers
While most of the focus during the 2015-16 offseason was on where all the premier free agent outfielders would land, one of the other trends that continued during the offseason was teams loading up their bullpen. The highlight, of course, was the Yankees adding Aroldis Chapman to a bullpen that already featured Dellin Betances and […]
