2012 Preseason Top 25 White Sox Prospects

2012 Preseason Top 25 White Sox Prospects
The 2011-2012 offseason has seen some significant changes for the White Sox and that certainly includes the minor league system. The changes haven't been dramatic enough to turn a weak farm system into a strong one, but there are definitely some intriguing new players to watch. Pitching depth has improved markedly, but position player depth is still abysmal. Even a shallow system like the Sox have is not fully devoid of talent... Read more »

2011 Birmingham Season in Review

2011 Birmingham Season in Review
Finally a playoff team! The Barons won the first half title in the Southern League’s South Division, but fell to Mobile 3-2 in the best-of-five division championship round. Birmingham went 40-30 to win the first half by two games, but limped into the playoffs by finishing last in the second half at 31-39 for a... Read more »

Birmingham Barons Season Preview

Our season preview series continues today with the Barons. Will they be able to recapture the magic of their 2009 season, or will they more resemble the disappointing 2010 team? The Birmingham Barons are the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox and they compete in the Southern League.   2010 in review: After a... Read more »

JPNese 9/8

It all ended with a whimper.  A 2-1 loss that seemed almost orchestrated.  Hanging fastballs, defensive indifference in the 8th inning in a 1 run game.  The Barons players excitedly claiming that they would be swinging at everything.  Wouldn’t have been the first time though, in 2007, the lowly Barons squad played their last game...

JPNese 8/26

Well…break up the Barons.  They’ve gone 8-6 over the past 2 weeks and seemingly increased their win total by almost 25%.  Fantastic timing.  With 11 games to go in the season and a 9 game deficit in the division, it’s more than likely that come Labor Day afternoon, the players will be packing up to...

JPNese 8/15

So basically, if I don’t show up, the Barons win.  I missed the games on the 9th, 10th and 11th due to recovery from “surgery.”  No need for painkillers, I’m a man.  Anyway, they won all three games, taking 4 out of 5 in the series and have succesfully avoided the dreaded 100 loss season.  Whoopty...

JPNese 8/3

The Barons had a decent homestand this time around, taking 3 out of 5 from Chattanooga.  Don’t get too thrilled though, Chattanooga had only one good pitcher and that was game 5 starter Rubby De La Rosa.  The Barons are now up to 37 big wins, but are at 70 losses, which guarantees a sub...

JPNese 7/21

The Barons have reached rock bottom.  30 games under .500 for the season.  The only goal I can see for them for the rest of the season is to make sure they win at least 8 more games so that they avoid 100 losses.  With 44 games left to play, and with the Barons averaging... Read more »

JPNese 7/12

The Barons continued to disappoint as they wrapped up the first half on the road.  A three game sweep of Montgomery capped a six game winning streak that had started at home against Mississippi.  The M-Braves got revenge by gaining a four game sweep to bring the Barons back down to Earth.  This is the...
