RELIEVERS: First look at 2014—AL Central
Sep 3 2013
This week we examine the AL Central relievers, starting in the South Side of Chicago.
The White Sox are in full-on rebuild mode at the moment. The closer position is set with Addison Reed (RHP, CHW). Nate Jones (RHP, CHW) is underrated and very strong in 2013, boding well for 2014.

This is the annual sleepers column, but let's be honest: There are no sleepers. There are relievers with great skills who are cheaper than they should be ... and that's what you want anyway.
