2004 Major League Baseball previews
White Sox look foward to a new season
 Slugger Frank Thomas and the White Sox haven't been to the playoffs since 2000. |
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) -
After squandering a September lead in the AL Central last season, the White Sox finished as the runner-up in the division by four games to the Minnesota Twins.
Then came the changes in the offseason. Jerry Manuel was fired as manager and replaced by former White Sox shortstop Ozzie Guillen. Starting pitcher Bartolo Colon, reliever Tom Gordon, second baseman Roberto Alomar and outfielder Carl Everett were then all lost to free agency.
The White Sox haven't been to the playoffs since 2000 when they won the AL Central. They went 13-1 during a stretch right after the All-Star break last season.
A victory over Minnesota on September 9 had Chicago two games in front of the Twins for first place. However, the wheels proceeded to fall off as the White Sox lost six of eight games with five of those defeats coming to the Twins.
Guillen's team has a strong nucleus going into this season. Although it's his first managerial job, Guillen is acting tough and said his players should be prepared to win at any cost, even if it means slugger Frank Thomas bunting in a sacrifice situation.
Guillen, who was the third base coach for the World Series champion Florida Marlins last year, has a strong desire to win and that was evident early in spring training when he ripped into his players for not being intense enough.
Righthander Esteban Loaiza had the best season of his career, going 21-9 with a 2.90 ERA, and finished second in the AL Cy Young voting.

Clubs such as the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Anaheim Angels, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox spent money for huge improvements, while others like the Montreal Expos and Minnesota Twins lost key parts to their squad.
