News: Kotsay re-signed with the White Sox on Thursday, one year for $1.5 million, ESPN-AM 1000 in Chicago reports.
Analysis: The White Sox like Kotsay as a nice number four outfielder who they can use to give a breather for their starters and a left-handed bat off the bench. The 33-year-old Kotsay hit .278 with four home runs and 23 RBI in 67 games combined with Boston and the White Sox last season. Chicago acquired him from the Red Sox on July 28 in exchange for outfielder Brian Anderson. In 40 games with the White Sox, the left-handed hitting Kotsay batted .292 with three home runs and 18 RBIs.

News: Kotsay went 4-for-6 with two RBI in the White Sox' extra-inning loss to the Mariners Wednesday.
Analysis: Kotsay has seen eight starts in the field since the team traded away Jim Thome to start September, and he has hit .378/.425/.649 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 37 at-bats. He has been surprisingly productive in a surprisingly slumber-ridden White Sox lineup. Manager Ozzie Guillen is a fan, so Kotsay should be back in 2010.
