  • A's News Clips, Monday, November 7, 2011 Seattle Prospects Lead
    A’s News Clips, Monday, November 7, 2011 Seattle prospects lead West to Rising Stars win Royals farmhands also contribute in AFL showcase By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The game could not been more appropriately named. It definitely lived up to its billing. Several of the top prospects in the game shone bright Saturday as the West Division powered past the East Division, 11-2, in the sixth annual Arizona Fall League Rising Stars Game at Surprise Stadium. It was a night of hits, misses, strikes and surprises. And stars, of course. The highly anticipated showdown on the mound between the East's Gerrit Cole (Pittsburgh), the first overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, and the West's Danny Hultzen (Seattle), the second overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, was overshadowed by the West's offensive onslaught, led by Seattle shortstop prospect Nick Franklin. Franklin, selected in the first round in 2009 by Seattle, finished 4-for-5 with a home run on a memorable night in Arizona. Franklin's four hits, two doubles, four RBIs and three extra-base hits all set new Rising Stars Game records. His team finished with 16 hits in the game. "It was really fun," Franklin said. "We had some fans and were enjoying the experience beforehand. We went out there to have a good time and started to put some runs on the board. We started having some fun in the dugout, and it carried over." Hultzen did his part, and there's no doubt that the front office in Seattle is feeling content right about now.

  • Report: White Sox Consi
    Headlines of October 21, 2015 “GM Hahn working to find new bench coach” … Scott Merkin, MLB.com “Report: White Sox considering ex-Cubs manager Rick Renteria for bench coach” … CSN “Truth about Harry Caray: It was show business” … Josh Peter, USA Today Sports GM Hahn working to find new bench coach By Scott Merkin / MLB.com | @scottmerkin | October 20th, 2015 CHICAGO -- General manager Rick Hahn didn't present a specific timetable when asked during a 2015 season-ending media session about replacing Mark Parent as White Sox bench coach. "It takes as long as it takes to get the right guy," said Hahn, adding that they had put together a list of people of interest at season's end. "There could well be some turnover elsewhere that opens up some names that aren't on our list at this time." A source confirmed to MLB.com that former managers Manny Acta and Rick Renteria, as well as Raul Ibanez, are names on that list of potential bench coach candidates. The White Sox also talked to Sandy Alomar Jr., the Indians' first-base coach and highly respected former catcher over three different stints on the South Side. But a second source confirmed that Alomar Jr. is not a candidate for the vacancy. This hiring process could take a little longer than expected with bench coach possibilities also potentially being connected with managerial openings in Seattle, San Diego, Washington and/or Florida. Another possibility is moving Joe McEwing, the team's third-base coach, into the bench coach role and bringing in someone to take McEwing's spot.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 1, 2017 * The Boston Globe Ben Taylor makes Red Sox’ Opening Day roster Nick Cafardo WASHINGTON — Rainy days aren’t so bad after all. While the Red Sox-Nationals exhibition game at Nationals Park was postponed Friday, the sound of the rain was like a symphony to Ben Taylor. The hard-throwing youngster who impressed with his poise and stuff throughout spring training will be the 12th pitcher on the staff when the Red Sox open against the Pirates Monday in Boston. Taylor, 24, made it because Tyler Thornburg, Drew Pomeranz, and David Price are starting the season on the disabled list. The Red Sox could have gone with a more seasoned pitcher such as Noe Ramirez, but the brass huddled during the rain delay and made the call. Taylor made the team as a nonroster invitee, which is rare. “I was very surprised,” said Taylor. “I came into camp not really expecting to make the team, but all the pieces fell into place. Perfect timing. “I’ve been feeling really good this spring. All my pitches have been working really well. I’m throwing the ball well and it paid off.” Manager John Farrell was impressed by the righthander’s 19 strikeouts over 13 innings, but more important, he said, “It was the poise and mound presence he showed as a young pitcher.” Taylor’s time with the major league team could be short-lived, depending on when Thornburg is ready, but who knows? “The hope is always to make the big league club,” Taylor said.

  • 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.

  • Behind Wild Relief, White Sox Drop Fifth in a Row Santiago Struggles With
    Behind wild relief, White Sox drop fifth in a row Santiago struggles with location in 10th as A's wait out a win By Willie Bans / Special to MLB.com OAKLAND -- At the Coliseum, a pitcher like Hector Santiago, who works fast and talks faster, stands out. Things move a little slower here. The A's, who lead the Majors with 240 walks, will wait ... and wait. The A's will wait even until the 10th inning, like they did Saturday afternoon, after Santiago had already issued four walks over 1 2/3 innings. They'll wait even if there are two outs and the bases loaded. They'll wait ... and wait ... Until a guy like Josh Reddick, who was on the disabled list for more than three weeks until Friday's series opener, is up to bat. Reddick took a first-pitch fastball for a strike, waited on a curveball in the dirt, held off of two sinkers out of the zone, and on a 3-1 count, he waited again. Standing straight with the bat resting on his left shoulder, Reddick took a slider that was high and inside, walking to end the game and hand the White Sox a 4-3 loss. Welcome to Oakland. "There were a few pitches that I thought definitely in that situation right there are other people out there that would probably swing at that," Santiago said, his words wanting to leave as fast as he probably did. "And they just kind of stood there, like, 'You can throw me a strike if you can,' you know? It's definitely tough because I feel like some of those pitches would be swung at in a different game." The White Sox lost their fifth consecutive game, falling in front of 26,646 and dropping to 24-29.

  • Savvy Trades Mark Timeline of Sox Rebuilding Projects
    Savvy trades mark timeline of Sox rebuilding projects By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Wednesday, January 25, 2017 If White Sox GM Rick Hahn really scores long-term in his first two deals of the newly-minted rebuilding era, he’ll mere- ly be following a successful blueprint from past housecleaning efforts. Sox fans had their first crack at meeting the products of the deals at a SoxFest with a very different theme this winter that was as much about the future as the Nellie Fox (from) left, Minnie Minoso and Sherman present and past. Lollar all were acquired by Frank (Trader) Lane. Going back to the start of the "Go-Go Sox" era at the dawn of the Fifties, the Sox have frequently supplemented home-grown prospects with trades that netted young talent. The only exception was a kind of reverse-rebuilding after the 1959 season, in which the Sox foolishly traded all their best young hitting talent for veterans in an ultimately un- successful attempt to beef up the lineup to ensure a repeat pennant. The voluble, colorful Frank (Trader) Lane is given credit for assembling the Go-Go teams that finally buried the decades of hubris from the 1919 Black Sox. If Hahn could strike gold in the same fashion as Lane, he’ll be remembered long after his own GM ten- ure concludes. One of the greatest trades in Sox history took place soon after the 1949 season. Lane ob- tained second baseman Nellie Fox, who had just broken into the Philadelphia Athletics’ lineup in ‘49, for catcher Joe Tipton.

  • 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.
