2009-10 Hot StoveSo the offseason began less than 48 hours ago and already the AL Central has seen a flurry of activity.
The White Sox completed a deal with Kansas City to bring in Mark Teahen in exchange for Chris Getz and Josh Fields. Teahen will apparently slot into the Sox lineup at third base, and the plan [...]

Magic Number 1
Justin Verlander probably will not win the American League Cy Young award. He won’t win the MVP, either. But today he won the most important game of the 2009 season for his club.
For the first seven innings, Verlander flat out owned the White Sox. He allowed just two hits, both [...]

Magic Number 8
Eddie Bonine didn’t allow a hit until the sixth inning, but when he did, Gordon Beckham made it count, blasting a two-run homer to provide all the scoring (and half the hits) in a 2-0 White Sox win.
The game was a classic pitcher’s duel, Bonine mowed through the White [...]
