  • Sox's New Trier Connection Gets Stronger with Tilson, Huff
    White Sox's New Trier High connection gets stronger with Charlie Tilson, Mike Huff By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 9, 2017 The White Sox’s historical New Trier High School connection just got a little stronger. His status as the team’s center fielder coming out of camp de- layed due to a stress reaction in his right foot, Wilmette native Charlie Tilson has made friends with a fellow alum of the legendary north suburban school, traditionally rated as Charlie Tilson (left) already has been in contact with fellow one of the best academically in New Trier alum Mike Huff (right), working at a Bulls/Sox Acad- the country. emy clinic with ex-slugger Jim Thome. Former Sox outfielder Mike Huff, vice president of baseball/fastpitch, and bunting and baserunning instructor at the west suburban Lisle-based BullsSox Academy, was New Trier’s representative on the 1993 AL West champion Sox. Since Tilson came into the Sox organization last summer via a trade from the Cardinals, the fellow former Trevians have had “a couple of great conversations.” Then they stayed in touch via e-mail. “Stay true to yourself,” was Huff’s main counsel to Tilson, slowed in Glendale due to a foot injury. If Tilson does win the center-field job, and needs some familiar pick-me-up from Huff, the latter will consider asking the permission of GM Rick Hahn and manager Ricky Renteria for supplement the advice the kid gets from Sox coaches. “I know they’d be 100 percent behind that,” said Huff.

  • Quintana-For-Quality Kids Could Be
    Quintana-for-quality kids could be biggest – and best-ever – Cubs-Sox trade By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, July 13, 2017 Jose Quintana promises in the short run to be more impactful to the Cubs than Sammy Sosa was in 1992. Eloy Jimenez could be as valuable to the White Sox as Jon Garland was for the long run. What likely was the biggest trade in Cubs- White Sox history on July 13 – the 15th be- tween the teams involving big-league players – will be one of the uncommon deals that works out for both franchises. Jose Quintana (left) should stabilize the Cubs ro- tation for years to come, while Eloy Jimenez The Cubs have a lefty starter in Quintana (right) enlarges an impressive White Sox cache of who should rank No. 3 in the rotation, if position-player prospects. not higher as the years progress that he is under control for the North Siders. Meanwhile, outfielder Jimenez is rated in the same ballpark as top position-player prospects Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert in a Sox farm system that was almost totally barren of impact youngsters a few years ago. Sox general manager Rick Hahn played poker expertly in initiating the Quintana talks, completed late on July 12, to counterpart Theo Epstein on the final day before the All- Star break. With the July 31 trade deadline still three weeks away, Hahn took advantage of two an- gles in moving Epstein off square one. A southpaw like Quintana would likely be the subject of a numerous serious trade inquiries, including one from a revived Milwaukee Brewers team the Cubs now must catch in the NL Central.

  • Making Predictions As Hazardous As a Hanging Curve with Game on the Line
    Making predictions as hazardous as a hanging curve with game on the line By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, March 19, 2013 The best advice came from a stout, cigar- chomping Runyonesque character who’d pull out a wad of $1,000 in cash in Wrigley Field’s right field bleachers in 1979. A real character who used four different names, I’m sure he was a low-level bookie- type. After watching batting practice, about a half hour before first pitch, this bloke would go downstairs to relay something over the pay phone to an information- hungry recipient. But the man of many ID’s was the wisest of us all. “Never bet on baseball,” he said. “It’s too unpredictable.” From then on, I never put money down on the grand ol’ game unless it was a “sucker bet.” Yeah, easy money from some over- confident, uninformed fool who did not have the facts you had committed to mem- ory, and thus you beat an easy mark.

  • The History of the Fly-By-Night Baseball Association
