White Sox Catcher Omar Narvaez Is One To Keep An Eye On
The Chicago White Sox’s catching situation has been a bit unsettled this spring.

White Sox Prospect Yoan Moncada Eats Up To 85 Twinkies A Week
Twenty-one-year-old second baseman Yoan Moncada of the Chicago White Sox—the key player in a major trade the Pale Hose made last year that sent ace pitcher Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox—is widely regarded as the best prospect in baseball. At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, he’s a switch-hitter with a lineb...
White Sox Manager Rick Renteria Makes Queso Fundido
The Chicago White Sox will be relying on new manager Rick Renteria to develop their promising young players this year.

White Sox Option Adam Engel To Triple-A
The Chicago White Sox, who have spent much of the spring evaluating center fielders, are that much closer to making what will certainly be a tough choice today, as 25-year-old Adam Engel, a candidate for the job, has been optioned to the team’s AAA affiliate in Charlotte. The team announced the tran...

Matt Davidson May Be Part Of The White Sox's Designated Hitter Rotation
One open question for the Chicago White Sox this spring has been just what they’ll do about their situation at designated hitter, given that they don’t have a single player ideally suited to seize the role full-time. With Opening Day approaching, it appears they’ll be going with a committee, reports...
Hawk Harrelson To Remain Face Of White Sox Even After Retirement
For years, broadcaster Hawk Harrelson has been the face of the Chicago White Sox. Players have come and players have gone, the Sox have been up and they’ve been down, but even more than a Mark Buehrle cutter or a Frank Thomas home run, Harrelson’s unique passion and commitment have defined the South...
Cody Asche Is Coming On Strong For The White Sox
While top prospect Yoan Moncada will get a lot of deserved attention for smacking his first longball of the spring today, there was other dong-related news out of the Chicago White Sox’s 7-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. Cody Asche crushed a big home run—his third this spring—as a designated hitt...

White Sox Face Tough Choices In Center Field
Presumptive White Sox Opening Day center fielder Charlie Tilson will be out for at least three more weeks with a stress reaction in his foot, the team said yesterday. It’s just the latest setback for the Wilmette native, who singled in his major-league debut last August, then promptly injured himsel...
Scott Podsednik To Teach White Sox How To Play The Game The Right Way
According to an article over at MLB.com, running under the dubious headline “Podsednik has much to offer as guest instructor,” Scott Podsednik, who in one of the two decent years he had in his major-league career was arguably one of the dozen best players on the 2005 Chicago White Sox team that won ...
Lawyer Who Prepared Documents For Smuggled Cuban Players Shocked Smuggling Took Place<em></em>

Piss Off, Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow isn’t a major-league ballplayer, and he isn’t a pro ballplayer in any but the barest, most literal sense. Certainly, if he weren’t famous for playing football and for not having been aborted, no one anywhere would pay him money to play baseball. Look at this shit!...
Nick Diaz Explains That Getting Your Ass Beat By Nick Diaz Is A Good Way To Make Money
It’s been more than two years since culture hero Nick Diaz last fought, and more than five since he last won, but he remains Nick Diaz. While there’s not much to this quick interview with TMZ, note the highly Diaz-esque logic behind his argument that middleweight champion Michael Bisping should figh...
