Black Sox Blog

Last week the White Sox were looking at Rafael Soriano but it looks like they opted for a lower cost option and signed Will Ohman to a two year, $4 million deal.  Ohman’s a lefty and he’s made his rounds, pitching for five different teams over his major league career.  I don’t like all of the walks, but he punches out about a guy and inning and over his career, lefties hit .208 against him.

The White Sox have thrown their share of money around this off-season.  This looks like a decent, low risk move although you wonder why they gave him a second year with it being so late in the offseason.  Still, $2 million per year isn’t all that bad and even being on the hook for $4 million over the life of the deal is small compared to a lot of the numbers being thrown around these days.

On a slightly different not, does anyone know when individual White Sox tickets go on sale.  I have some games I’d like to go to and want to buy them as early as possible.
