1909 Update

The White Sox showed very little improvement over the previous season, finishing 72-80. 6th, 14 GB. Their offense did improve, scoring 470 runs (vs 377 the year before) thanks largely to Frank Thomas, who led the AL in RBI’s with 88. However, that was still the 2nd worst offense in the AL. After Thomas, Dutch Zwilling (MLB’s highest salaried player @ $3660), led the league in SBs with 74, but hit only .216 with 5 HRs and 49 RBIs. Not a single starting position player hit as much as .250.
The pitching however, was outstanding. The starting staff had a league-leading 2.08 ERA and the bullpen also led the league @ 1.44. Frank Knauss (16-18, 2.39) lead in wins, Bill Lee (15-23, 2.00) lead in ERA, and Chan Ho Park, who was called up part way through the season, had a remarkable 13-5, 1.55 record. Jose Valverde (8-3, 0.74) with 11 saves was nearly unhittable out of the bullpen.
The White Sox still have a long way to go to have a competitive offense. They must count on development of youngsters like Chipper Jones, even more outstanding performances from Thomas, and possibly dealing some of their pitching for offensive help.
