| South Side Sox Ubiquitous Bracket Challenge
March 13, 2007 04:58:39I signed up for Comcast Sports Net's Tournament Challenge because I wanted try my luck and see if I could take home a big screen TV. And since you can create leagues, I went ahead and made one for South Side Sox, which I encourage you all to join. Disclaimer: (added because I sound like I'm selling something) I'm not gaining anything by sending you Comcast's direction. League Username: South Side Sox
League Password: tinkerbell For those of you serious about winning, you'll want to check out the scoring, which is slightly different than I've seen in most places. It gives more credit for correctly picking an upset, with "upset" being defined as a lower seed defeating a higher seed. * * * * * On the diamond, Tuesday marks probably the most interesting day of the spring as both Gavin Floyd and John Danks are scheduled to pitch 4 innings against Texas which could go a long way to deciding the winner of the 5th spot in the rotation. Unfortunately, this game doesn't appear to be one of the many televised this spring.

Ozzie on the Sox loss in yesterday's game against the Rockies: [Scott Merkin] "Who did we play? Colorado? That's a shocker," said Guillen of the Rockies, who have a 9-1-1 spring record against the White Sox over the past two years. "They own Buehrle. They own Garland. They own Jose [Contreras]. They own the White Sox. Thank God we don't have to play them if these games count. Then, I would be fired."

Garland says he feels "a knot" in his shoulder, similar to the one he felt last year at Spring Training: [Dave van Dyck] "I kind of have that same feeling that I did toward the end of spring last year--it feels tight," he said. Last year, somehow, it worked its way out and, hopefully, it works its way out this year. It doesn't hurt because I can go out and throw the ball and it doesn't hurt. It just feels tight. I think it's just a knot deep in there. It's holding me back. But I'll work through it and continue on with my business. I'll be right there."

| Will John Danks be the White Sox 5th starter?
March 10, 2007 03:57:50Taking Stock of the 5th Starter Candidates  Gavin Floyd -- Floyd entered spring training as the 5th starter favorite by default. He still seems to hold that position, though his final inning of work in his last outing may have loosened his grip on the position. I'd give him equal odds with Haeger and Danks on winning the job. Update [2007-3-9 23:54:34 by The Cheat]: Kenny Williams "could not be more pleased" with Floyd's spring thus far. With that knowledge, I suppose he should still be considered the favorite.  Charlie Haeger -- Even before he threw a pitch, the White Sox acknowledged that it would be difficult to evaluate Haeger and his knuckleball in the thin, dry air of Tucson. As such, I haven't really put much weight (good or bad) behind what I've seen from Haeger this spring. I expect him to be back in Charlotte's rotation come opening day.  John Danks -- When he arrived at camp, Danks seemed to be destined for Charlotte only to be called upon when he dominated AAA and/or the 5th starter fell flat on his trip north. Danks has now had three impressive outings, including Friday's three innings pitched while facing the minimum, and has been the most impressive starting pitcher in camp. I've only been able to catch two innings of his work, but I thought he looked surprisingly polished. I expect him to get a couple of "A" game starts based on his latest outing. Gio Gonzalez -- Gio's stuff is as good as advertised, but he clearly needs to work on refining his control. He should end up in Charlotte working on throwing more strikes (and keeping the ball in the park) while (hopefully) putting himself back among the elite lefty prospects in the game. Heath Phillips -- If the Sox goal was only to have a better-than-Felix-Diaz, non-disasterous 5th starter, Phillips would be my choice. He's not going to wow you with his stuff, but he's learned how to use what little stuff he does have to be an effective pitcher. Floyd, Haeger, and Danks should all be starting "A" games from now until it's clear that they've lost their shot at 5th starter duties. The Sox should let the other 4 starters alternate pitching in "B" games in order to let the three 5th starter candidates face lineups comprised of mostly major leaguers.

| Spring Training Game #11: White Sox @ Arizona
March 9, 2007 19:41:20Jon Garland vs. lefty Doug Davis. This one is on WSCR 670-AM. Gametime: 2:05 p.m. Lineups (Live Boxscore; MLB Gameday): Sox: Erstad, LF; Iguchi, 2B; Thome, DH; Konerko, 1B; Dye, RF; Crede, 3B; Hall, C; Anderson, CF; Uribe, SS D-Backs: Young, CF; Callaspo, SS; Hairston, LF; Jackson, 1B; Hudson, 2B; Quentin, DH; Gonzalez, C, RF; Barden, 3B; Johnson, C ***** Today's White Sox Quote of the Day comes from Ozzie Guillen. Ozzie on Steve Phillips after Phillips statement that he [Ozzie] is on the hot seat: "I have a better record than his manager [Bobby Valentine] did with the Mets. I have a better record as a manager than [Phillips] when he was the Mets' general manager. We pick better players than he did back then. He forgot about when I was with Atlanta and he was the general manager [of the Mets] and we beat him. He forgot I was the guy who hit the base hit to right field to win the game. ... One thing I like to do is prove people wrong." ***** Latest Palehose 7: The Face of Evil

| Rowand Back to the Sox Trade Rumors Part III
March 9, 2007 16:57:35As Chiburb also pointed out, Kenny may try to bring back outfielder Aaron Rowand: [Joe Cowley] A source indicated that Sox general manager Ken Williams has been in talks with Philadelphia GM -- and good friend -- Pat Gillick about a deal that would send middle-relief help, including left-hander Boone Logan, to the Phillies for former Sox outfielder Aaron Rowand. ... On the Sox end, neither Brian Anderson, Ryan Sweeney or Jerry Owens have distinguished themselves as leading candidates for the center-field job this spring. Yes, Rowand has a dismal .111 batting average this spring, but hitting coach Greg Walker has always understood his swing. Wizard: But Logan is getting his stuff together. How about Aardsma or Tracey?
