2009 Chicago White Sox General Preview
-
Hello fellow baseball fans! My name is Dan, and I will be blogging for the Chicago White Sox this season. I have been a fan since I was around four, and live in the Chicago-area. Today, I will be giving you a general look at the 2009 White Sox, but during the next few days, I will be giving you the lowdown on each position. Let’s get started!
One year after capturing the AL Central Division Title, the White Sox are looking to do more this year…and in the years to come. General Manager Kenny Williams is calling this a “youth movement”, contrary to rumors of rebuilding the team. Gone are Joe Crede, Javier Vazquez, Juan Uribe, Orlando Cabrera, Nick Swisher, and Ken Griffey Jr. Coming in are Dayun Viciedo, Tyler Flowers, Brent Lillibridge, Jeff Marquez, and Jayson Nix, as well as veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon.
This year, many young and inexperienced players could be starting full-time for the South Side of Chicago. Because of this, no one can accurately predict how they will do. Inexperience looms at second base, third base, center field, and the 4th and 5th spots in the starting rotation. Ultimately, it will come down to Spring Training to determine the rosters. This coming year will be a very interesting year for the new-look White Sox.

Welcome! I’m new myself.
The South Siders have either let go of or lost a lot of their big-name talent, and they are definitely in the rebuilding stage. I think this year will be a rough one for the White Sox, but then again, I don’t recognize any names except for Nix and Colon. Hopefully it turns out for the better. Considering that the AL Central is not very strong, I think the White Sox have a chance at the ALC title (but more likely the Wild Card then the division).
