New White Sox Faces

Even after winning the 2005 World Series, Kenny Williams was not satisfied with just one and made some great off season moves to bring in new players to make this team even better. The team is now more rounded and a lot more versatile than last years team. Let's meet the new members of your 2006 Chicago White Sox.


Alex Cintron

A great role player who can play 2B, 3B and SS. He can be a solid bat off the bench that makes a lot of contact and he is also a switch hitter.


Boone Logan

The 21 year old lefty came out of no where in spring training and earned himself a spot on the roster. He not only adds depth to the bullpen but he is also very tough on lefties. He should be used during late inning situations VS left handed hitters.


Rob Mackowiak

Kenny Williams admitted that he had been trying to acquire Mackowiak for years now and now we finally have him. Rob will be such a key player on this team this year. He plays every position except pitcher and catcher and he will be used a lot by Ozzie to give certain guys days off throughout the long 162 game season.


Jim Thome

Everyone knows who this big guy is and we are all expecting big things from Thome this year. He looks very healthy and primed to have a great year. You know Thome is not satisfied with how he performed last year and he is very hungry to win after seeing what we did last year.


Matt Thornton

Thornton was acquired from Seattle in the Joe Borchard deal. Matt Thornton is a stud! He is a 6'6" lefty that throws 95 MPH with ease. He will be another key ingredient in the bullpen to provide much needed depth in the late innings.


Javier Vazquez

One of the biggest deals in all of baseball during the off season brought Javier Vazquez to the White Sox from the Diamondbacks. This deal put the White Sox starting rotation way above the rest and they now easily have the best starting five in baseball. With Vazquez now in the rotation, all five Sox starters pitched over 200 innings during the 2005 season. No team has had five starters do that since the 1980 Oakland Athletics.

So six new faces added to the 2006 White Sox sure does improve this team in all aspects of the game. Look for all the new comers to make an immediate impact in helping the Sox charge for another championship run.
