WHITE SOX RUMORS & GOSSIP

Danks Nearing Return While IF's Progress Quickly

Outside of the lackluster defense and incompetent offense, the main trend of April for the White Sox was injuries. While fans have had to wait patently for some of the team's more prominent names to return, it looks like the waiting process is finally dwindling down. With Danks Getting Closer, Ventura Dismisses a 6-Man Rotation There’s some news out of Charlotte...

Deunte Heath Demoted; Donnie Veal Recalled

The White Sox made a subtle, yet important roster move after last night’s game. The team optioned right-handed bullpen arm Deunte Heath back to AAA Charlotte and promoted lefty Donnie Veal to take his place. Heath really struggled in his four appearances out of the bullpen since being called up mid-April, giving up seven runs over 5.2 innings. If this is indeed...

Chris Sale is quietly terrific

The Chicago White Sox' Chris Sale might be the quietest superstar in baseball. Whether it is because his team gets little national exposure or because he is not doing Head & Shoulders commercials, I do not know, but he just goes out there every fifth day and is devastating. And he keeps getting better. Sale has now started 38 games in his big league career and is 22-10 in...

Josh Phegley's Emergence in AAA is Hard to Ignore

White Sox fans everywhere are starting to get a little frustrated with catcher Tyler Flowers. While filling the shoes of the departed AJ Pierzynski in your first season as a full-time big league starter is a difficult task, Flowers’ play both at and behind the plate have left a lot to be desired, as fans are questioning the organization’s ringing endorsement of Flowers as the...

How Close Jeff Keppinger Has Come

Give this to Jeff Keppinger: he’s a long way from history. Keppinger, to date, has started 29 games for the White Sox, and he’s still searching for his first base on balls. That’s a long streak to start a season, but it’s far from the longest streak. Two years ago, Brent Morel of the same White Sox didn’t draw his first walk until start 33. In 2009, John McDonald went 35...

Chicago White Sox: Sale almost perfect on Mother’s Day.

There aren’t many seasons where Chicago White Sox fans say they can look forward to a series against the Angels. However, the Angels have been having many of the same problems as the Sox this year. With an offense as stacked as they have (Hamilton, Trout, AND Pujols), it’s hard to believe that this is the case. That being said, the White Sox did a pretty good job of making the...

White Sox pitcher Hector Santiago forgets to bat against Mets (Video)

Your browser does not support iframes. Chicago White Sox pitcher Hector Santiago is not used to hitting, as he plays for an American League team. That would probably explain why Santiago was nowhere to be found when his at-bat came up with two outs in the top of the sixth inning during Tuesday night's game at Citi Field. The game was briefly delayed as Santiago was in...
