For starters, Hahn off to a good start
Rick Hahn, executive of the year. OK, maybe not yet, but the new Chicago White Sox general manager is off to a great start. Signing Jake Peavy for only two years and a option at the going rate for a top-of-the-rotation pitcher is a great deal for...

White Sox need more starts like Quintana's
Jose Quintana does not tiptoe into a room. He opens the door and waltzes right in, sometimes to stick around, sometimes to be promptly escorted out. It's a direct approach, one built around challenging hitters with strikes, and the White Sox prefer it to...

Quintana's emergence comes at right time
On a Monday night flight that originated in Barranquilla, Colombia, Abel Quintana landed in Chicago and the new world of opportunity created suddenly by his son's baseball career. Out of nowhere over the weekend, Jose Quintana arrived as a major league...

Battered Sox rotation could use stalwart like Buehrle
Are Mark Buehrle's old friends about to start missing him? Sooner or later, it is bound to happen. You don't win 161 games for a franchise and leave at age 32, with a sturdy arm still capable of 200-plus innings, without your name coming up in a...

Sox hopes rest on Sale's shoulders
Chris Sale tried to be like a sponge whenever Mark Buehrle was around, soaking up pitching knowledge. It was the same way Buehrle had learned from David Wells, sitting next to him in the White Sox dugout during games in his first full season. The...

Sox trade for Liriano shores up rotation
You have to hand it to Kenny Williams. While the White Sox general manager didn't land Zack Greinke, like the Angels' Jerry DiPoto, who did, he has found ways to improve on the fly. Williams filled major holes when he traded for Kevin Youkilis and Brett...Tags: Brett Myers, Don Cooper, Kevin Youkilis, Kenny Williams, Zack Greinke

Sox and Royals know rotations rule
Rick Hahn and Dayton Moore know one of the biggest realities of baseball and wasted no time acting upon it. If you're going to go to the playoffs, you better have a strong starting rotation. Last year, eight of the 10 postseason teams were in the...

Phil Rogers' MLB power rankings
1. Rangers (1): It looks like they have enough cushion to hold off the A's and clinch early enough to get their rotation lined up for a long October run. Geovany Soto could wind up playing in the World Series. 2. Nationals (2): Gio Gonzalez heads into...

Ever-valuable Jeter deserves MVP
If a shortstop can do it, Derek Jeter has done it. Well, with one exception. He never has received the honor that was bestowed on his teammate Alex Rodriguez back in 2003, when Rodriguez was with the last-place Rangers. That's the same honor that went...

Sox MVP: Williams
Barring some miraculous turn of events this weekend, these are our final chances to reflect on the improbable 2012 White Sox. Much of the audience already has headed for the exits, so I'm going to roll closing credits now and avoid an empty theater next...
