White Sox opt to bring back Kotsay: The White Sox have agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.5-million contract with free agent infielder/outfielder Mark Kotsay. 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.

Fantasy Analysis
Chicago acquired him from the Red Sox on July 28 in exchange for outfielder Brian N. Anderson. In 40 games with the White Sox, the left-handed hitting Kotsay batted .292 with three home runs and 18 RBI. He'll get at-bats spelling Paul Konerko and various outfielders, but he lacks upside offensively and doesn't matter outside of deeper AL-only leagues.
