CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox are currently dealing with two back issues as Adam Dunn will continue to play through one, while Tyler Fowers will miss a third day in the lineup with his own. Dunn had just started to turn things around on the mos...

CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox are not concerned with how it looks, only that the desired result is achieved. If that sounds a lot like the "Winning Ugly" season of 1983, well that's only fitting since the White Sox wore those old red, white and...

PITTSBURGH -- Amidst the tiring back-and-forth of the Wrigley Field renovation project (including a silly dalliance with the city of Rosemont), a greater interest in their minor leaguers and the promise of the upcoming No. 2 overall pick in the draft...

CHICAGO -- The element of human connectivity on every ball club is something baseball prognosticators forget to apply when they make their predications for a new season. The Chicago White Sox were picked by one sports magazine to win just 69 games...

CHICAGO -- Heading into what could be his final season on the South Side, Paul Konerko is thinking more about team success than the end of a personal era. Guys like A.J. Pierzynski and Kevin Youkilis are gone, but Konerko doesn't expect a drop off...

The Chicago Cubs could actually have a very productive bench in 2013. Final roster guys who will only get limited at-bats are never a sure bet, but considering the Cubs could employ up to two platoons (in right field and third base) it means the non-...

The "savvy-veteran" tag won't exactly qualify when talking about the Chicago White Sox bench this season. Dewayne Wise, who will serve as the fourth outfielder and main left-handed bat off the bench, actually fits that bill, but it doesn't really...

The Chicago Cubs outfield is where things could come up short for the team this season. There is some hope out there but even if Alfonso Soriano, David DeJesus and Nate Schierholtz reasonably max out, they don't compare to other outfields around the ...

Take a look around the Chicago White Sox outfield because it probably won't be the same after this season. Fanned out from left to right will be Dayan Viciedo, Alejandro De Aza and Alex Rios, back to take the field together on Opening Day for the ...

As part of our Red Sox season preview, we asked our baseball scribes -- Gordon Edes and Joe McDonald -- to answer five burning questions about the 2013 Boston Red Sox. Below are their responses. Share your thoughts as well by answering the poll q...

The Chicago Cubs' infield could be one of the better ones in the National League -- at least on defense. Manager Dale Sveum truly believes that, and with a Gold Glove winner at second base in Darwin Barney and a two-time All-Star at shortstop in S...

With their vacancy on the infield this winter, the Chicago White Sox went out to fill multiple needs with a single player. Enter new third baseman Jeff Keppinger, who not only takes the open infield corner position, but his ability to make contact...

The Chicago White Sox's 1-2 punch at the top of the starting rotation will be complemented this season by the 1-2 punch at the back end of the bullpen. Where Chris Sale and Jake Peavy are being looked upon to give the White Sox a chance to win eac...

Though a few roles are still being worked out, the bullpen could be a strength for the Chicago Cubs this season. It wasn't bad last season and the addition of Japanese import Kyuji Fujikawa could solidify it even more -- that is if Carlos Marmol ...

The Chicago White Sox planned on hitching their trailer to the starting staff, but already questions have emerged with the members of the rotation. The biggest worry surrounds John Danks, who is returning from shoulder surgery last summer. From th...

The Chicago Cubs' starting rotation looked a lot better on the first day of spring training than on the last. Injuries to Matt Garza and Scott Baker have put major stress on the five who will begin the season starting games on the mound. Jeff Sama...
