We all know how the Tigers did this week or at least you should if you are reading my blog :) But it can be hard to keep track of the Tigers competition especially during Spring Training. So I will be brining weekly wrap ups detailing each teams weekly happenings. I’ll discuss what is going right for not only the teams prospects but also their roster players who Detroit will likely face in the coming year.

This was a pretty sorry looking week for the White Sox. I discussed here earlier this week how the Chicago rotation was struggling so far this spring and that has only continued through the week. The starting rotation this week has pitched a combined:

Wednesday saw Contraras pitch four innings and when he wasn’t getting strikeouts (he got 6 of them) he was getting hit pretty hard taking responsibility for 5 hits and a walk totaling two earned runs. Two of the hits were doubles, one of which was to Royals 3B phenom Alex Gordon.

Thursday Gavin Floyd got the nod and pitched three innings giving up 6 runs (only two of which were earned) with five hits and a walk. White Sox offensive squad isn’t faring much better with the notable exceptions of Juan Uribe (who was questionable for a little while this off season) and Crede. Crede is hitting .529 and got a HR in Thursdays match up.

Jon Garland took the mound today pitching 3 innings and taking responsibility for all four runs given up by the White Sox in the game. He gave up a remarkable 8 hits: three doubles, a triple and two home runs. Giving up another triple he could have had two pitching cycles in just three innings.

The White Sox came through the week without a win but more importantly didn’t achieve much success at all with their regular players. The once powerful offense has been just sticking in there with average play thus far. Maybe the cold in the windy city has stiffened the Chicago hitters, either way they need to turn around before the season starts or it won’t be a fun year for CWS fans.
