Bernstein: OK White Sox, Now Don't Blow This
The White Sox are no longer a cute little story, and that's a good thing.
The White Sox are no longer a cute little story, and that's a good thing.
While many of those questions remain unanswered, pitching coach Don Cooper said his staff will be a bright spot throughout the season.
Chad Billingsley pitched two scoreless innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-4 Monday.
Jesse Crain, who is preparing to start his second season on the South Side, said he's definitely interested in taking over the ninth-inning role.
Gone are longtime ace Mark Buehrle and closer Sergio Santos -- two moves that surprised pitching coach Don Cooper.
With the winter meetings at full force in Dallas, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times joined The Mully and Hanley Show to break down what's been going on.
After trading away Sergio Santos to the Blue Jays in exchange for a Double-A prospect in Nestor Molina, it's clear the White Sox are looking to bolster their depleted farm system.
Williams said he doesn't anticipate trading any other pitchers on his current roster although that could change if the right deal came along. Williams said he just hasn't received back the players he is looking for.
It's day two of baseball's winter meetings, and things are just getting started for the White Sox.
The White Sox traded closer Sergio Santos, who they recently signed to an extension, to Toronto Tuesday for minor league pitcher Nestor Molina.
Consider the White Sox a dangerous dark horse in 2012. To get you ready for the off-season, here are five burning White Sox questions for the winter.
After racking up 30 saves in 2011, the White Sox rewarded Sergio Santos with a three-year, $8.25 million contract with club options for 2015-17.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen no longer sees the fight in his team. Paul Konerko doesn't see it, either. The Chicago bullpen blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the White Sox 6-5 in 10 innings on Wednesday.
Jake Peavy struck out a season-high nine and Alex Rios homered to help the Chicago White Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
Philip Humber and Chris Sale gave the Chicago White Sox exactly what the team needed after a lost weekend. Humber pitched seven scoreless innings and Chicago beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 Monday in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
Alejandro De Aza drove in a career-high four runs to lead the Chicago White Sox to an 8-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
Alejandro De Aza returned to the majors Wednesday and it sure looks as if he plans on staying for a while. De Aza hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat of the season and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 2-1 on Wednesday.
Watching the White Sox is like looking at an accident on an expressway. You know you shouldn't, but you can't help yourself.
Sergio Santos threw a wild pitch in the 11th inning that allowed Alex Gordon to score, giving the Kansas City Royals a 2-1 victory Wednesday night.
One of the biggest White Sox storylines during the first two weeks of the season was the White Sox bullpen. Today, the bullpen is also a significant storyline, but for different reasons.
A.J. Pierzynski scored the winning run on a balk called on Aaron Crow in the ninth inning and the Chicago White Sox beat Kansas City 5-4 on Monday night.
Matt Thornton is salvaging his season after a rough start, he has a 3.45 ERA, 30 strikeouts in 31.1 innings pitched and has recorded 10 holds.
The closer role is reserved for a team's best, and most reliable relief pitcher. For the Chicago White Sox, Sergio Santos has taken a strangle hold over that role.
For most of baseball's history, saves weren't kept as an official stat. And still to this day, there's some debate about how good a former closer needs to be to reach the Hall of Fame. However, one thing is for certain, every major league reliever wants the job.
Coming into this season, Matt Thornton was named as the closer. But after struggling early on, the White Sox removed him from that position and went with a closer-by-committee approach. Now it seems as if Sergio Santos has taken that role for himself.
