RELIEVERS: First look at 2014—AL Central

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