RELIEVERS: Another one bites the dust

A lot to discuss this week—and not a word about Fernando Rodney, the Red Sox, the Orioles, Matt Capps, the Dodgers, Dale Thayer or Sergio Romo.  Go figure.  (All numbers as of Monday morning.)

The White Sox are giving owners whiplash with all their changes. Chris Sale (LHP, CHW) is back in the rotation after something like 20 hours as closer and now the team says it will try a committee of Matt Thornton, (LHP, CHW), Addison Reed (RHP, CHW) and Héctor Santiago (LHP, CHW).
