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.

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

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.

As trade rumors continue to swirl around White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet, the Red Sox, Dodgers and Orioles have emerged as his most likely suitors.
