Thornton

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Dylan Axelrod, 27, RHP: Axelrod will begin the season as the fifth starter until John Danks is ready. Axelrod has a 3.21 ERA and 1.00 WHIP this spring with 12 strikeouts in 14 innings. He should do fine as a fill-in, but hopefully he won’t...

Reed lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

The White Sox selected Reed out of San Diego State in the third round of the 2010 first-year player draft with intentions of him being their future closer. In 2012, Reed recorded his first major league save on May 5th, and he was the White Sox...

Danks lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Danks is coming off of a nightmare 2012 campaign. The lefty really struggled out of the gate, and his last start of the season was on May 19th. Ultimately, Danks’ season ended on August 6th when he underwent shoulder surgery. Danks is...

Quintana lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

In 2012, Quintana really came out of nowhere to have a very nice year. When Quintana got a shot to start in May, he produced all-star caliber numbers in the first half of the season. After his first 8 starts, Quintana had an outstanding 2.04 ERA...

Floyd lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Floyd will begin the 2013 season in the final year of his current contract, and it will likely be his last season in a White Sox uniform.  At 30 years old, the White Sox will likely let Floyd go into free-agency where he will command more...

Peavy lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

In 2012, Peavy was able to pitch for an entire season for the first time since his CY Young award winning campaign in 2007. After undergoing career-threatening surgery on a torn latissimus dorsi tendon in 2010, Peavy responded with an impressive...

Sale lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Dewayne-wise

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Hector Gimenez, 30, C: Gimenez has been a minor leaguer for the majority of his career, and has only appeared in 11 games over the course of three seasons. Gimenez will serve as the White Sox back-up catcher to Tyler Flowers. He is batting .378...

Beckham lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

In 2012, Beckham had his best season since his rookie year in 2009. Beckham’s batting average and on-base percentage left a lot to be desired last season, but his power numbers returned closer to where they should be at. Although it was a...

Flowers lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Flowers will begin his first season as a full-time catcher in 2013, and he is probably the hardest player on the White Sox to project. Since Flowers has spent the majority of his time in the majors backing up A.J. Pierzynski, he has never received...

Ramirez lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Ramirez enters the 2013 season coming off of slightly-down 2012 campaign. The “Cuban Missile” had the lowest production of his career in terms of runs scored, home runs, batting average, and on-base percentage. Surprisingly, at age 30,...

Viciedo lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Viciedo enters the 2013 season as my favorite White Sox player as in terms of trying to project his statistical performance. Viciedo’s offensive tools are highlighted by his raw power and bat speed that are arguably unmatched by any player...

Konerko lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

Konerko is entering the final year of his current contract, and it could possibly be the final season of his career, let alone in Chicago. Konerko has been a mainstay in the White Sox lineup since 1999, and has also been the captain of the team...

Dunn lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

After a historically bad 2011 season where he batted just .159 with 11 HRs and 42 RBIs, Dunn fared much better in 2012. While his batting average was still a dismal .204, Dunn was able to hit 41 HRs while driving in 96 runs. Obviously, the White...

Rios lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

After spending most of the time in the fifth spot of the White Sox lineup in 2012, Rios will now bat third. Robin Ventura probably wants more speed and a higher average player out of his third spot. Rios is coming off of his best season as a White...

Keppinger lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

The White Sox signed Keppinger in the offseason to a three-year; $12 million contract to be their starting third baseman. While Keppinger certainly does not provide the power you would typically want from your corner infielder, he does give the...

Deaza lineup

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/31/2013

De Aza is coming off a solid 2012 season as the White Sox leadoff man. A rib injury caused him to miss the second half of August, but De Aza was atop the Sox’ lineup just about every day when healthy. De Aza doesn’t do one thing...

Peavy

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/26/2013

Danks_4

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/21/2013

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/08/2013

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/03/2013

Konerko_1

By Eric Tichelbaut @ Let's Talk White Sox 03/02/2013

Paul Konerko has meant so much to the White Sox. It would only be fitting to see him hit his 500th HR and retire in Chicago.
