Somebody tell Ozzie Guillen that he's managing an American League team, and one built to slug.
The Chicago White Sox made some aggressive offseason moves to bring in slugger Adam Dunn and retain the services of Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski.
A.J. Pierzynski has a reputation of being a player you hate to play against, but love as a teammate. Well newly acquired Jesse Crain is going to find out just how true that really is.
Jake Peavy took the mound for the second time during spring training and looked as strong as ever, despite the White Sox falling to the Giants. A.J. Pierzynski was especially impressed with Peavy's performance saying "His slider was as good as I've seen it in the last two years."
On his way to the Chicago White Sox spring training game against the Cincinnati Reds, catcher A.J. Pierzynski was pulled over and given a speeding ticket. If that wasn't bad enough, manager Ozzie Guillen tweeted about it.
White Sox starter John Danks is still under Sox control through the 2012 season, but several failed attempts to sign him to a contract extension have been a head-scratcher.

I had a chance Tuesday morning/afternoon to catch both Chicago baseball teams. The Cubs & Sox are now both working out and I hurried from one to the other.
Baseball season is just around the corner and Ozzie Guillen has his lineup set for the White Sox.
At the end of last season, many thought that Paul Konerko had played his last game in a Chicago White Sox uniform. Among these people was Konerko's teammate, Gordon Beckham.
Imagine Superman signing on as the official spokesman for Kryptonite tights. Then imagine Albert Pujols putting on Cubs pinstripes. What's less likely?
The White Sox played all their chips and were able to make a huge splash in free agency. 'We're All In.' That appears to be the new slogan for the team, and can be seen on the new billboard featuring Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn, that's already up.
Jake Peavy updated his health status on Wednesday. The 2007 Cy Young Award winner is coming of a 2010 in which he underwent season-ending surgery to repair a detached lat muscle in the shoulder.
Good news got better today. Not only did Paul Konerko re-sign with the White Sox, he deferred money from the final year of his contract. Something that makes the deal even better for the White Sox.
On the beach in Mexico last week, looking out on the ocean, there was very little that could go wrong in Paul Konerko's world at that moment.
The Chicago White Sox have re-signed Paul Konerko. Other reports indicate that the deal is for three-years and round $37 million.
Another contract is confirmed for the White Sox. A.J. Pierzynski signed a 2-year deal worth $8 million. The catcher will earn $2 million in the 2011 season and $6 million in 2012.
KennyBall, anyone? After allowing Ozzie Guillen to realize his quixotic desire for speed and flexibility -- mixing and matching his lineup and playing NL-style baseball -- it appears the White Sox have come to their senses by signing prolific slugger Adam Dunn to a four-year deal worth $56 million.
