Last night marked the White Sox’ second consecutive victory, which means a win Wednesday night would be three in a row. If I haven’t lost you with the complicated metrics already, the White Sox have not won three games in a row since May 9. The Red Sox are still the better team, but tonight features […]

White Sox 3, Red Sox 1: Tim Anderson Shines, Chris Sale Cruises
Coming into Tuesday’s game, the Red Sox’ team TAv was .279. The White Sox have one player with a TAv above that. It’s Matt Albers. Essentially the best hitter on the White Sox would be a negative addition to the Red Sox lineup. This is a roundabout way of saying the Red Sox offense is better […]
Anderson’s Future in the Spotlight is Now
Tim Anderson is not a hero. He’s not a savior. He’s simply a 22-year-old shortstop that found himself receiving his first call-up to the major leagues during a turbulent time for an organization. The haze of desperation currently covering the White Sox will distort the image of any aid it receives from its possible shortstop of […]
South Side Morning 5: Anybody can get it
1. For a franchise in a ‘prove it’ season like the White Sox are in, pressure is felt across the organization. But as manager, Robin Ventura is sitting in the position to feel it first and strongest. In terms of on the field action, accountability runs up the chain to him, but in terms of […]
White Sox 5, Tigers 3: Tim Anderson might be just fine
Remember all those dinks who questioned putting freshly promoted and 22-year-old Tim Anderson at the top of the lineup? After the Sox scored 18 runs in the first two games with their new lead off man, Anderson scored three times to give the Sox a narrow victory in the rubber match. 1. The White Sox […]
Lots of moves on the South side, but little action
As someone on the Baseball Prospectus thread for Transaction Analysis assignments, I would be able tell that the White Sox have been busy for the last week or so even if I was sunning in Tahiti. More plausibly, I would be able to tell the Sox have been busy even if I was incarcerated in […]
White Sox 7, Royals 5: Avila clocks two home runs, Anderson shines in winning debut
The White Sox and Royals are not the marquee franchises for home runs and awesome displays of power. While Kansas City has shown the league how much can be accomplished without the use of the longball, the White Sox have mostly just struggled, so neither offense was expected to hijack a night headlined by a […]
The White Sox Cannot Afford For Tim Anderson To Fail
Friday’s announcement that the White Sox are bringing Tim Anderson to the major leagues creates mixed feelings of excitement and fear. But it’s the fear part I can’t seem to get past right now. Anderson’ ascension to the majors is the most important move the White Sox will make this season. Not necessarily for the […]
Tim Anderson is coming to the majors
The Jimmy Rollins/Tyler Saladino combination held off the inevitable all the way until June 10. The White Sox are calling up top prospect Tim Anderson. Anderson will join the White Sox today as first reported by @barstoolWSD. He figures to be part of the starting lineup against the Royals — Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) June 10, […]
White Sox select Zack Collins with No. 10 overall pick
As you may have picked up from the headline, the White Sox have selected Zack Collins, a catcher from the University of Miami, with the No. 10 overall pick. Spend less time and attention focusing on the value that the position implies. 2080 Baseball’s Mauricio Rubio said Collins has a nominal chance to stick at […]
