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. Well-traveled Matt Lindstrom (RHP, CHW) is just filler, and lefty Donnie Veal (LHP, CHW) and righty Ramon Troncoso (RHP, CHW) are substandard. Skills:
