CHICAGO -- With Saturday's acquisition of Andrew Sisco from the Royals in exchange for Ross Gload, the White Sox appeared to add to an already impressive cast of power arms making up their revamped bullpen.

But during a Saturday afternoon conference call, general manager Ken Williams cautioned that appearances can be deceiving in terms of Sisco's future role.

The hard-throwing, 6-foot-10 southpaw started in 65 of his 69 Minor League appearances as part of the Cubs' farm system from 2001-04, posting an 18-20 record, 3.69 ERA and 371 strikeouts over 336 2/3 innings. It's a job Sisco could once again assume in 2007.

White Sox add lefty Sisco to 'pen

White Sox fans, do you think Andy Sisco would be a better fit in the starting rotation, or the bullpen?

Good luck to Sisco. Can't say i'm sad to see him gone. Though he does have a 94 fastball so he could turn into a situational pitcher out of the pen. I didn't really follow Gload much. From what I read he seems like a strong bench player.

So glad he got him. We know have 6 releivers who can throw 95+ mph.

Jenks, MacDougal, Sisco, Floyd, Thornton, Aardsma.

Williams has made some strange moves this off season.
I don't know what to think.
I liked Gload a lot.

So far, I don't have much faith in our making the playoffs with the moves they've made.
I'd be very disappointed if we don't.
