The Chicago White Sox on Thursday formally announced Ryan Fuller as director of hitting. He will oversee all aspects of hitting throughout the organization.

I’m diggin’ this move from the White Sox. On his 42nd birthday, Tuesday, late night news broke that Will Venable will become the next manager of the Chicago White Sox, the 44th all-time for the franchise.

Ryan Fuller can draw from all his past coaching experiences with Baltimore as the new White Sox director of hitting, with his hiring officially announced on Thursday afternoon. Fuller, 34, served as co-hitting coach over the past three seasons for the power-packed Orioles.

The White Sox need help at every level of the organization right now, but they've taken a big step to help the ailing offense.
