If the Sox are not able to make a deal for Koch, which has been rumored the last several weeks, then they have to hope that the one-time closer regains what he was missing from this season. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/205489.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/205489.html Mon, 24 Nov 2003 19:54:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox The dominos were expected to fall once the White Sox organization found out that slugger Frank Thomas was indeed returning for the 2004 season and a new manager (Ozzie Guillen) was named, but things are still quiet on the free agent front. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/203899.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/203899.html Thu, 20 Nov 2003 06:15:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox Former White Sox SS Ozzie Guillen, 39, was officially named the new manager for the Sox on Nov. 3, replacing Jerry Manuel, who was dismissed in late September after compiling a 500-471 mark in six seasons. Guillen was signed to a two-year deal, with the club owning an option for a third year. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/200397.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/200397.html Wed, 12 Nov 2003 04:06:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox One week after expressing anger about the way the White Sox were handling his pending free-agent status, shortstop Jose Valentin was a happy man on Nov. 5. The veteran shortstop was informed that the organization picked up the $5 million club option on his contract for next season, bringing him back for a fifth year on the South Side. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/199786.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/199786.html Mon, 10 Nov 2003 23:08:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox LHP Neal Cotts was selected in the second round of the 2001 amateur draft by the Oakland Athletics, and later traded to the Sox in the deal that sent Keith Foulke, Joe Valentine and Mark Johnson to the A's and brought Billy Koch, Cotts and Daylon Holt to the South Side on December 3, 2002. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/198897.html Josh Griffith http://whitesox.scout.com/2/198897.html Sat, 08 Nov 2003 06:29:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox Ozzie Guillen isn't the only former Sox player now returning to the South Side as a coach.

This week, we examine Sox roster as of the week of Novemeber 3. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/197909.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/197909.html Wed, 05 Nov 2003 20:26:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox RF Magglio Ordonez is going to make $14 million next season, and considering the Sox are looking to keep the payroll near the $60 million mark in 2004, there have been rumors that White Sox GM Ken Williams is looking to move Ordonez. Williams addressed that point last week. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/197426.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/197426.html Tue, 04 Nov 2003 18:05:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox The White Sox announced the 36th different manager in team history Monday afternoon when Ozzie Guillen, who spent 13 seasons as a shortstop on the South Side, was announced as the club's new skipper, replacing Jerry Manuel who was fired September 29.

The veteran switch-hitter was told by the team just after the season ended that they weren't going to pick up his $5 million club option for 2004, but still wanted him back. They kicked around a two-year deal with Valentin and told the 34-year-old that the plan was to keep the team intact if players would cooperate and take less money. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/197159.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/197159.html Tue, 04 Nov 2003 04:17:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox The Sox selected RHP Kris Honel in the first round (16th overall) of the 2001 amateur draft from Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, Illinois.

That's because they won't have the chance. The Sox exercised their $4 million option on the 21-game winner in 2003, assuring Loaiza would be back with the club next season. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/196182.html Josh Griffith http://whitesox.scout.com/2/196182.html Sat, 01 Nov 2003 01:44:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox Frank Thomas has decided to stay with the White Sox. Again. The 1B/DH announced Thursday that he will exercise his $6 million contract option 2004 instead of testing the free-agent market.

If both sides say no to the deal, then Thomas can become a free agent. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/195306.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/195306.html Thu, 30 Oct 2003 02:27:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox Hot News for P Bartolo Colon http://whitesox.scout.com/a.z?s=261&p=9&c=2&cid=195094&nid=683734&fhn=1 Josh Griffith http://whitesox.scout.com/a.z?s=261&p=9&c=2&cid=195094&nid=683734&fhn=1 Wed, 29 Oct 2003 15:58:53 GMT 1 261 Chi White Sox whitesox The White Sox were expected to meet with Florida Marlins third base coach Ozzie Guillen early this week to put an end to their month-long interview process for a new manager. Now, all that's left is a final decision. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/194830.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/194830.html Wed, 29 Oct 2003 02:00:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox To no one's surprise, Bartolo Colon rejected the Sox' three-year deal Monday, instead opting for free agency. Although Colon's agent did not rule out a return to the Sox, GM Ken Williams has yet to return phone calls made from Colon's agent, making it appear that the right hander's career on the South Side is all but over. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/195106.html Josh Griffith http://whitesox.scout.com/2/195106.html Tue, 28 Oct 2003 15:59:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox Mark Buehrle (14-14, 4.14 ERA, was 2-10 at one point before finishing 12-4). Buehrle will be arbitration eligible this offseason, but said that the two sides have not talked since last spring, when he walked away from a deal that could have been worth $27 million over five years. http://whitesox.scout.com/2/192583.html The Insiders http://whitesox.scout.com/2/192583.html Thu, 23 Oct 2003 04:45:00 GMT 0 261 Chi White Sox whitesox
