[edit] Season Highlights
Not content to rest on their laurels after winning the 2005 World Series, the White Sox made several moves prior to the 2006 season, including trading for designated hitter Jim Thome and pitcher Javier Vazquez, and re-signing Paul Konerko to a lucrative deal. Led largely by the bats of Thome, Konerko, Joe Crede, and Jermaine Dye, the team burst out of the gate and battled the Detroit Tigers for the AL Central lead through the All-Star Break. However, the Sox stuggled in later July and fell behind the Tigers, before eventually being passed by the Minnesota Twins in the wild card race.
