Hot Prospect @ Hot Corner Heats Up in Desert

20 Nov 2009 09:38:46 PST

Written by Teddy Ballgame
I couldn’t make it to the desert to watch any Arizona Fall League action this year, which was very disappointing. I’m a huge baseball fan, who enjoys seeing young talent more than anything, and then watching these players develop. Last Fall I enjoyed getting a chance to see The Sporting Ne...

White Sox Make "News" at GM Meetings

10 Nov 2009 15:07:23 PST

Written by The Cheat
Not much happens at the GM meetings. But this year those meetings are taking place in Chicago -- an unnamed hotel near O'hare, actually -- which means the local Chicago rags can afford to send their writers to cover the relative non-event. So we've got a lot to link to for a week after the World S...

Williams details thinking behind Ramirez at short, Beckham at 2B

09 Nov 2009 20:17:08 PST

Written by Chris De Luca
When the Sox took Beckham in the first round of the 2008 draft, he was a shortstop. It's the position manager Ozzie Guillen insisted he would play all the way through spring training.

White Sox Show Their Hand With Teahen Trade

06 Nov 2009 22:50:24 PST

Written by The Cheat
The moves leave the Sox with two obvious holes at Designated Hitter and a corner outfield spot. DH is unlikely to be filled anytime soon, as the Sox don't have much to spend and the bottom has fallen out of the defensively-challenged hitter market in recent years. It's likely that the Sox will...

Jenks' 'message' pitch under review
