After leading the Miami Hurricanes to the College World Series during the spring, the catcher made his pro debut in the White Sox system this summer and now is getting extra at-bats and instruction in the Arizona Fall League. Collins isn't getting a lot of playing time with the Glendale Desert Dogs, because he's officially a taxi- squad player who's active twice a week while Carson Kelly (Cardinals) and Garrett Stubbs (Astros) handle the bulk of the catching duties. But he's still soaking up a lot of instruction while he tries to improve his catching skills. Collins says he is looking forward to learning from Kelly, one of the best defensive catchers in the Minors, and handling more advanced pitchers than he's accustomed to. While he's known for his offense, he takes pride in his defense and knows he has to work on it. Scouts grade his arm and receiving as fringy tools, and he gave up 18 steals (in 21 attempts) and five passed balls in 21 games behind the plate in his debut. "Mostly over the last year or so, in my opinion, I've gotten a lot better behind the plate," Collins said. "I think a lot of teams can say I can stay behind there for the rest of my career, hopefully. I've been working on everything. "I had a new catching coach come into Miami and he kind of changed everything I did and we just put in the time. Before the Draft year, I just knew that was my weakness and I had to learn how to catch if I wanted to get drafted high and have a chance to catch in the big leagues. That's pretty much what I spent most of my time on my junior year and I got a lot better. It's helped me out a lot." Hitting comes more naturally to Collins, whose bat made him a star with the U.S. National 16-and-under team when he was a Florida high schooler. He could have been an early-round pick in the 2013 Draft had he been signable, and he spurned the Reds in the 27th round to attend Miami. Collins powered the Hurricanes to CWS appearances in 2015 and 2016, winning the Johnny Bench Award as college baseball's top catcher in the latter year. He batted .363/.544/.668 with 16 homers in 62 games this spring, leading NCAA Division I with 78 walks and finishing second in on-base percentage. His offensive upside prompted the White Sox to draft him 10th overall and sign him for $3,380,600. One of the best all-around hitters available in the 2016 Draft, Collins generates plenty of power from the left side thanks to his bat speed, strength and the loft in his swing. He also employs a patient approach and controls the strike zone extremely well. The White Sox plan on expediting his bat to the big leagues and had him spend most of his pro debut in Class A Advanced, where he hit .258/.418/.467 with six homers in 36 games. He doesn't sell out for power, which Collins says always has come naturally to him. "As a kid, I would always hit home runs," he said. "My dad always taught me how to hit home runs and our motto was always, 'Who gets paid the most? The guy who hits home runs.' Ever since I was a kid, that's what I tried to do and what I learned to do. Just get bigger and stronger and hit the ball out of the park. "It's tough sometimes when guys are pitching around you... But it's tough to hit a home run on good pitches or pitches out of the zone, so I try to simplify it and look for a pitch over the middle of the plate and put the barrel on it." White Sox hitters in the Fall League Courtney Hawkins, OF Danny Hayes, 1B Trey Michalczewski, 3B/SS The 13th overall pick in the 2012 Draft, Hawkins has big raw power but has yet to show that he can make enough consistent contact to do damage at the plate. The Texas high school product repeated Double-A in 2016, batting .203/.255/.349 with 12 homers and 137 strikeouts in 106 games. Hayes was off to the best start of his pro career, batting .250/.358/.489 with 10 homers in 55 Triple-A games, before a core-muscle injury ended his regular season in mid-June. The 13th-round pick in 2013 out of Oregon State has some of the best plate discipline among Chicago farmhands and is starting to show the power required of a first baseman. The top infield prospect in the White Sox system, Michalczewski is a switch-hitter with power from both sides of the plate and the tools to play a solid third base. The 2013 seventh-rounder from an Oklahoma high school had a rough year in Double-A, hitting .226/.314/.363 with 11 homers and 153 strikeouts in 134 games. White Sox pitchers in the Fall League Brian Clark, LHP Louie Lechich, LHP Nolan Sanburn, RHP A ninth-round pick from Kent State in 2014, Clark already has ridden his low-90s sinker and solid slider to Triple-A. He had a 2.70 ERA and 48/12 K/BB ratio in 56 2/3 relief innings this year at the two highest levels in the Minors. Chicago made Lechich a sixth-round senior sign out of San Diego as an outfielder in 2014, then converted him to a relief pitcher at midseason this year. His athleticism translated well to the mound, where he backs up a 90-93 mph fastball with a promising changeup. He didn't allow an earned run while fanning 16 in 15 innings between Rookie ball and Short-Season Class A. The Athletics took Sanburn in the second round of the 2012 Draft out of Arkansas and traded him to the White Sox two years later for Adam Dunn and cash. He has had intermittent shoulder issues as a pro, which has sapped of him some velocity, though he still works with a low-90s fastball and a decent slider. He had a 3.53 ERA and a 69/25 K/BB ratio in 81 2/3 innings this year, mostly in Double-A. White Sox claim former top outfield prospect Rymer Liriano off waivers By #WhiteSoxTalk / CSN Chicago | October 28th, 2016 The White Sox announced on Friday they have claimed outfielder Rymer Liriano off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. Liriano, a former Top 50 prospect by both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus, missed the entire 2016 season after suffering multiple facial fractures when he was hit in the face by a pitch during a spring a spring training game on March 20. The 25-year-old Liriano had a brief stint in the majors with the San Diego Padres in 2014 in which he had a .220/.289/.266 slash line with one homer, six RBI and four stolen bases in 38 games. Liriano has a career minor-league slash line of .277/.350/.435 with 68 home runs, 378 RBI and 190 stolen bases in seven seasons. Liriano was named the Midwest League Most Valuable Player in 2011 and earned midseason All-Star honors in 2011, 2012 and 2014. With the move, the White Sox 40-man roster now stands at 40. Harold Baines isn’t banking on his Hall of Fame chances By Graham Womack / Sporting News | October 25th, 2016 Who he is: Harold Baines was surprised when a representative of the White Sox contacted him recently to tell him he’d made this year’s veterans' ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Before David Ortiz, Edgar Martinez or Frank Thomas came along, Baines might have been considered the best designated hitter in baseball history, finishing with 2,866 hits and a .289 lifetime batting average. He was less impressive by sabermetrics, which might have doomed his Hall of Fame bid with the writers, who never gave him more than 6.1 percent of the vote in his five years on the ballot. So he got a jolt recently with the news he’d made the ballot for the Today’s Game Committee, still known colloquially to many as the Veterans Committee. “I was shocked that I was on the ballot for the Veterans Committee, really,” Baines told Sporting News. “When you get less than 5 percent (from the writers), you figure your chance is over with.” Baines is on an intriguing ballot that looks deepest for non-players. Honoring people who made their greatest contributions to Major League Baseball between 1988 and 2001, the ballot features former All- Stars Albert Belle, Will Clark, Orel Hershiser and Mark McGwire, as well as former commissioner Bud Selig, Braves president John Schuerholz, late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and former managers Davey Johnson and Lou Piniella.

Chicago White Sox 213 Chicago White Sox The Chicago White Sox professional baseball fran- chise has constantly battled for respect and attention since arriving in Chicago in 1901. Some of the lack of respect has been self-inflicted, coming from stunts such as uniforms with short pants, or a disco record demolition promotion that resulted in a forfeiture of a ballgame, one of the few in baseball history. The other source of disrespect comes from being in the same market with the Chicago Cubs, which has devel- oped an elite and special image in the minds of many despite having the longest championship drought in professional sports history. The past 20 years have featured an uptick in the franchise’s reputation, with the opening of a new ballpark (called U.S. Cellular Field since 2003) that seats 40,000 plus, and a World Series championship in 2005. The franchise began in 1901 when Charles Comiskey moved his team, the St. Paul Saints, to Chicago to compete in a larger market. Comiskey soon built a ballpark on the south side of town, named it after himself, and won two champion- ships, the last under his ownership in 1917.

Produced by the dynamic CSN Chi- cago team of Sarah Lauch and Ryan Believe: The Story of the 2005 Chicago White Sox will air McGuffey, "Believe" is an emotional on Sunday, Apr. 12 at 7:00pm CT, on Comcast Sportsnet. roller-coaster-ride of a look at a key season in Chicago baseball history that even the casual baseball fan will enjoy because of the story—a star-crossed team cursed by the 1919 Black Sox—erases 88 years of failure and wins the 2005 World Series championship. Lauch and McGuffey deliver an extraordinary historical documentary that includes fresh interviews with all the key participants, except pitcher Mark Buehrle who declined. “Mark respectfully declined multiple interview requests. (He) wanted the focus to be on his current season,” said McGuffey. Lauch did reveal “that Buehrle’s wife saw the film trailer on the Thursday (April 9th) and loved it.” Primetime Emmy & Tony Award winner, current star of Showtime’s acclaimed drama series “Homeland”, and lifelong White Sox fan Mandy Patinkin, narrates the film in an under-stated fashion that retains a hint of his Southside roots and loyalties.

  • Go-Go to Glory
    Durable Lollar found niche as White Sox anchor, run-producer By John McMurray Soft spoken and self-effacing, Sherman Lollar provided a strong defensive presence be-hind the plate during his 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox. An All-Star catcher in seven seasons of his 18-year major-league career, Lollar won the first three American League Gold Glove awards from 1957 through 1959. Although he was not known as a power hitter, Lollar hit 155 career home runs and collected 1,415 hits. He also produced one of the White Sox’ few bright moments in the 1959 World Series apart from their Game One victory, a two-out, three-run homer that tied Game Four in the seventh inning. (Unfortunately the Sox lost that game, 5-4.) Even though Lollar played well and received awards during the 1950s, he did not receive as much national recognition as fellow catcher Yogi Berra, who won three Most Valuable Player awards. As Red Gleason wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957, “It is the fate of some illustrious men to spend a career in the shadow of a contemporary. Adlai Stevenson had his Dwight Eisenhower. Lou Gehrig had his Babe Ruth. Bob Hope had his Bing Crosby. And Sherman Lollar has his Yogi Berra.” John Sherman Lollar Jr. was born on August 23, 1924, in Durham, Arkansas. His father, John Sherman Lollar Sr., had been a semipro baseball player and was a veteran of World War I. When Lollar Jr. was three years old, he moved with his family to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where his parents opened a grocery store.
