Still, Thorpe made a good impression on Chicago manager Pedro Grifol. 'He's a strike-thrower, he's a competitor,' Grifol said of Thorpe. 'He's got a plus-plus plus changeup. He knows how to pitch, he's calm and had a really good demeanor.'
Thorpe will try to help the White Sox accomplish something they haven't done since May 14-15: win a series. Chicago, a major league worst 19-53, took two of three games from the Washington Nationals over that two-day span, just its fourth series win of the season.
