John Sickels: White Sox relief prospect Addison Reed has risen from college ball at San Diego State to Triple-A and the cusp of the majors in just one year.

For three months, Dan Uggla was maybe the unluckiest player in the majors. For one month, he’s been maybe the luckiest. According to Rob Neyer in the New York Times, anyway.

Josh Beckett’s not much of a Cy Young candidate. But as Sandy Kazmir notes, he might have pitched better this season than anybody else.
