Player Notes
July 4, 2008
Jim Thome went 2-for-4 and notched Chicago's lone RBI in Friday's tough 7-1 loss to Oakland at US Cellular Field. His hit went for a double, which was also the club's only extra base hit of the game.

Our View:That was his 44th RBI of the season, with six coming over his last six games.
June 29, 2008
Jim Thome went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Sunday night. He is up to 15 long balls and 40 RBI on the year, and his 522 career homers place him ahead of Ted Williams and Willie McCovey.

Our View:After two disastrous months, Thome is hitting .281 with five homers, 12 RBI, and 17 runs in June. Those aren't outstanding digits, but they represent a major step forward for this veteran.
June 18, 2008
The White Sox report that designated hitter Jim Thome could be spending time at first base, according to MLB.com.

Our View:With Paul Konerko residing on the 15-day disables list, the team needs to find a viable answer to fill that role. Thome is nursing a stiff back but manager Ozzie Guillen told reporters he is giving this move serious consideration.
June 17, 2008
While the White Sox are enjoying the 16-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the seamheads of the world are applauding designated hitter Jim Thome . Hitting his 14th home run of the season also puts Thome at 521 career homers, moving the veteran swinger into a tie with Willie McCovey and Ted Williams at 16th on the all-time home run list.

Our View:You tend to forget Thome has been around for so long, and now he sits among the great names of the game.
June 14, 2008
The White Sox are reporting designated hitter Jim Thome is likely to return on Sunday, according to MLB.com.

Our View:He was out of the lineup once again on Saturday due to back pain and stiffness, but the team had him on the ready for pinch-hitting duty if needed. The Sox believe he will be back in the lineup tomorrow barring setback.
