Selling low on Gordon Beckham

Selling low on Gordon Beckham
By now you’ve probably heard Gordon Beckham’s name bandied about in trade rumors pertaining to the White Sox rebuilding effort. It’s notable because it’s not everyday you hear “Trade the 25 year-old cost-controlled 2nd basemen!” during a rebuilding effort, and because it wasn’t that long ago that Beckham was capable of acting as the centerpiece...

This is why we don't have meetings

This is why we don't have meetings
This past Tuesday and Wednesday, the Chicago White Sox held organizational meetings for the first time since 2007.  Why they waited so long is a matter for debate. Tuesday, November 8th, 8:00 AM (Scottsdale, AZ) Kenny Williams: First of all, let’s all thank Paul for allowing us use of his rumpus room on such short... Read more »

WSO Playoff Primer - NL

WSO Playoff Primer - NL
In a continuation from the decreasingly analytical AL playoff primer, here’s the WSO NL playoff primer! The National League features a style of play where the pitchers hit, and the game is thus more pure.  It’s not about chubby beer-leaguers swatting home runs, it’s about athletes and real ballplayers winning with pitching and defense, strategy and...

Rios' redemption

Rios' redemption
After sliding in for the go-ahead run in the top of the 8th in Baltimore on Monday, Carlos Quentin popped up and immediately turned to first and pointed in appreciation to the party responsible for what would be the game-winning blow, Alex Rios. Clearly not satisfied with the level of acknowledgement he got from Rios... Read more »

Are the White Sox worth saving?

Are the White Sox worth saving?
If approached at my seat during the top of the 3rd–right after two pop-ups had been deposited on the short outfield grass by the White Sox defense–I might have been encouraged to say “Eh, not really”.  However, By the end of the evening, the White Sox had rallied on the Tigers thanks to a man...

White Sox Week That Was - 6/13-6/19: Let's just act like you turned a corner

He ain’t gonna make it. // Norm Hall, Getty Images This week was one uncharacteristically light on baseball for the White Sox, with only five games thanks to an off day and a rain delay.  Perhaps that’s a good thing.  The Sox are still 35-38 on the year, so they’re kind of below average at...

Well, now we just look like morons

Oh, hey you. // Norm Hall, Getty Images A quick status update for the White Sox after a dreary 4-1 loss to the Diamondbacks for their third straight defeat would be….very thoroughly not good. It’s not rock-bottom.  How could it be in a season where the Sox have been as much as 11 games under... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was 6/6-6/12: Could we have done more?

White Sox Week That Was 6/6-6/12: Could we have done more?
This is getting ridiculous. // Nuccio DiNuzzo, Chicago Tribune The mandate for the White Sox during a 7-game homestand week versus Seattle and Oakland was pretty clear: make hay…preferably lots of it.  And whatever caution that Seattle’s promising record might have elicited was burnt away when the Sox won match-ups versus Felix Hernandez and Michael...

White Sox player wrap-ups - Daniel Hudson

Sometimes the only picture of you big enough for a title line is a shot of you looking like you can’t stand the smell of the dugout. As much as I admittedly am charmed by the “We’re All-In” slogan, it’s a bit of a misnomer because…it’s not really new.  Maybe the White Sox aren’t going... Read more »

White Sox player wrap-ups - Edwin Jackson

White Sox player wrap-ups - Edwin Jackson
It’s Scott Boras on the line……”DON’T YOU DARE LISTEN!” It’s always important to have a back-up plan.  Especially when a team has invested millions upon millions of dollars on a hard-throwing pitcher who puts tons of torque on his arm, it becomes important to have a serviceable, MLB-ready starter waiting in the minors who keeps...
