White Sox morning roundup

Share

From yesterday:

Chris Sale struck out six with no walks and two hits allowed in six innings of work in a 1-0 loss to Cincinnati on Monday. It was easily his best outing of the spring, and he and A.J. Pierzynski broke down the start while Pierzynski and Brent Morel offered up a few thoughts on Robin Ventura.

The White Sox made 14 cuts, including Ozzie Martinez, Jared Mitchell, Trayce Thompson and Nestor Molina. That narrows the battle for the final bench spot to Dan Johnson and Eduardo Escobar, while Mitchell and Thompson left good impressions on those who watched them. James has some good thoughts on the moves.

Jim Margalus' White Sox Outsider 2012 is now on sale, and as someone who's purchased the 2009, 2010 and 2011 editions of the book, it's a consistently informative, well-thought-out and often witty read. And if you're not familiar with Jim's analysis, he posted an interesting look at Alex Rios' ability to use the opposite field at South Side Sox.

Around the division: Joakim Soria may need Tommy John surgery, Miguel Cabrera cut his face up pretty badly, the Indians traded for a guy with the last name of Stoneburner and the Twins optioned Tsuyoshi Nishioka, the team's starting second baseman on Opening Day last year, to Triple-A.
