In the 2013 Relief Pitcher Guide, I wrote this about Addison Reed:
“Aside from a low strand rate (68.5%), high BABIP (.323) and somewhat low K/9 rate (8.84), Reed lived up to his sleeper status. While the K/9 rate was lower than projections, his 22.7 K% was above average – and he did well in getting ahead of hitters with a 66% first strike rate. He showed...
Player Profile #200: Addison Reed | RP | CHW
Cinco de Mayo was Addison Reed‘s coming out party as the White Sox’s flame-throwing phenom notched the first of what are sure to be many big league saves. Really, Reed’s move to the ninth inning was just a matter of when; the team never saw Matt Thornton as a long-term option, and his abominable April made their transition to Reed very easy.
One look at Reed’s minor league...
Addison Reed: Shutdown Numbers, Meltdown Stuff
In 2011, White Sox reliever Addison Reed faced 293 minor league hitters and struck out 111 while walking only 14 of them. It was a good year for Reed. He went from A-Ball, to High-A, to Double-A, to Triple-A in 3 months and 15 days.

MLB Trade Rumors: Would Chicago White Sox Deal Addison Reed or Nate Jones or Rotation Help?
With the way Phil Humber and Gavin Floyd have pitched recently, it’s becoming obvious that if the Chicago White Sox are going to make a move at the trade deadline, starting pitcher is where they will look.
While third base and left-handed relief pitching have been issues as well, the Sox look like they are beginning to realize that they cannot expect to win a division with two...
Addison Reed Given White Sox Closer Job
First year manager Robin Ventura has named Addison Reed as the White Sox starting closer. The 23 year old reliever taken in the third round of the 2010 amateur draft is four for four in save opportunities this season, while posting an impressive 11.5 SO/9 rate.
Reed certainly has the skills to be a solid closer, however, it remains to be seen if the 23 year old has the mental make...

Reed officially designated as White Sox's closer
Thanks to a 6-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night, the Chicago White Sox had no reason to go to Addison Reed out of the bullpen. That doesn't mean the topic of Reed wasn't a hot one, as manager Robin Ventura finally made the obvious official. The Sox have had three pitchers earn saves, and Chris Sale blew his lone save opportunity when he was briefly designated...
Reed impressive out of White Sox bullpen
Addison Reed set a franchise rookie mark for a Sox pitcher on Tuesday night, making 13 straight scoreless appearances to start a season, breaking the old mark that Sergio Santos set in 2010. But bigger than that, Reed continued to show the Sox he can handle the late-inning pressure of the seventh, eighth, and as he did in the 5-3 win over Cleveland, getting the final three outs...
