Thornton takes on the Inbox

Matt Thornton has been called upon to tackle some difficult situations during the course of his successful career.

How about tying run on third, one out in the eighth inning and a tough left-handed hitter such as Justin Morneau at the plate, as an example. The next challenge for the hard-throwing southpaw, though, will take place off the field.

Thornton will serve as the guest conductor for next week’s edition of the White Sox Inbox. One of the game’s best setup men will be answering questions sent in by the fans, with his responses to run on whitesox.com in the days leading up to SoxFest’s start on Friday. The exact date will be specified on the Being Ozzie Guillen blog and through @scottmerkin Twitter.

So, submit those questions through the same form usually used within this Inbox, and they will be assembled and sent to Thornton. They don’t have to just be about Thornton, but also can be directed at the White Sox as a team for 2010 and beyond.
