Optioning Carson Fulmer inefficient, but probably for the best

White Sox had to burn an option with top pitching prospect, but it might not be a waste

Heading into tonight’s game, the White Sox had their choice of replacements for Miguel Gonzalez, who hit the disabled list with a strained groin after lasting only an inning last Thursday.

Carson Fulmer pitched three innings in relief of Gonzalez and hadn’t pitched since, so he was on track for another extended appearance. Anthony Ranaudo threw a quality start — and homered! -- in his only appearance for the White Sox on July 27, and he last started for Charlotte against Durham five days ago.
