Eloy Jimenez Will Not Be Called Up This Year

In a rather disappointing press conference Monday afternoon, Rick Hahn announced officially that White Sox top prospect Eloy Jimenez will not be called up to the majors this season, effectively ending his 2018 season. Jimenez hit a combined .337/.384/.577 between Double- and Triple-A this season with his Charlotte numbers being even better (.355/.399/.597). His power numbers are up […]

South Side Morning 5: The Major League Team

We’ve spent a good portion of the second half of the season talking about pretty much everything except the major league White Sox. That’s understandable. The White Sox are headed toward another bottom five finish, and subjects like when Eloy Jimenez is coming up, Michael Kopech seemingly starting to figure things out, trades or lack […]

Four White Sox on BP’s Midseason Top 50 Prospects List

Despite a frustrating amount of injuries this season, the White Sox farm system remains among the best in baseball. While half of their Preseason Top 10 have spent time on the DL in 2018, there’s still enough high-end talent to give you hope, and the string of bad luck hasn’t necessarily pushed back their competitive […]

South Side Morning 5: White Sox Troll Twins

Hitting development still the key to the White Sox future

We’ve written about it several times in the past, but one of the more interesting changes in player acquisitions we’ve seen in recent years, coincidentally or not, is the White Sox targeting position players who are at or close to major league-ready. It made sense, particularly when they were still trying to contend, as the White […]

South Side Spring Training 5: Everybody Hurts

1. Tyler Saladino and Nicky Delmonico were added to the growing list of White Sox befallen by injury this spring after a scary collision during Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks. Both players were removed from the game. Saladino was diagnosed with a mild concussion and will enter MLB’s concussion protocol, meaning he won’t play again for at least […]
