> GLENDALE, Ariz. — When the White Sox's front office and
coaching staff conduct their daily spring meetings starting
Wednesday, their roster scenarios won't be affected largely by
whether certain players will be physically ready by Opening Day.
>
> For the first time in several Februarys, the Sox enter spring
training without major medical questions to players projected
for the 25-man roster.
>
> That includes pitcher Jake Peavy, who is expected to be fully
recovered from major surgery in July 2010 that sidelined him for
10 months and still caused him bouts of arm fatigue.
>
> Brent Lillibridge, whose versatility could earn him more
playing time against left-handed pitchers, said last month he is
fully recovered from a fractured right wrist that sidelined him
for the final three weeks of the 2011 season.

> When Jordan Danks arrives Tuesday at Camelback Ranch, he hopes
the White Sox's coaching staff takes notice of the additional 15
pounds of muscle on his 6-foot-5 frame that could help result in
a major league roster spot in the near future.
>
> Danks, the younger brother of Sox left-hander John Danks,
isn't discouraged by the prospect of starting his third
consecutive season at Triple-A Charlotte after being left
exposed but not selected in the Rule 5 draft in December and
then seeing the Sox sign Kosuke Fukudome to a one-year contract
on Tuesday.
>
> "My motivation preceded all of this," Danks said Friday in a
telephone interview.
>
> Danks plans to arrive one week earlier than required because
he wants to show the staff he has made an array of changes that
he believes can help him improve on his .257 batting average and
14 home runs, cut down on his 155 strikeouts and still maintain
the quality defense he displayed last year at Charlotte.

Million in 2012?

five-tool baseball player. He has the contract to match.

baseball field.

> Rios, along with new acquisition Adam Dunn, was the poster boy
for a White Sox team that had the big-money pedigree but
underperformed their way to a third-place finish in 2011. Nary a
day would go by that didn't feature a reminder of the folly of
Rios' contract.
>
> After his solid 2010 season, expectations were for a similar
performance from Rios in the middle of a potent South Side
offensive attack. The reality was that of the Murderer's Row
some envisioned, only Paul Konerko (and to a lesser extent the
recently departed Carlos Quentin) actually delivered the goods
at the plate.

I'm skeptical that 15 lbs will lower his strikeout rate.

Add that to the Spring Training Cliche list:
1) Added muscle
2) Lost weight
3) New exercise routine
4) Finally healthy
5) Vision improvement
6) Working on a new pitch
7) Expected to run more

Nobody looks better than White Sox trainer Herm Schneider, who
lost about 70 pounds over the offseason.

Sox players all out with "All-In'' slogan
By Mark Gonzales - Tribune reporter - 2:41 p.m. CST, February
22, 2012
GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Chicago White Sox's 2012 slogan is
"Appreciate the Game," which will be gladly received by the
players after last year's "All-In'' theme that collapsed during
an 83-loss season.
"The All-In thing got abused last year," reliever Matt Thornton
said. "I’m glad that one is over with, and it didn’t work out
well, anyway. It’s one of those things I can’t wait to get out
on the field and start playing games.
"We have a lot of guys itching to get out there, and some young
guys itching to go out and prove what they can do and make this
team and prove they’re ready to go somewhere during the season.
There's a good mix of things out here.”

Sox can learn from Arizona in bouncing back
By Mark Gonzales - Tribune reporter - 11:39 a.m. CST, February
22, 2012
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The White Sox are counting on rebound
seasons from Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham in their
quest to challenge for the American League Central title despite
slim odds.
They’re also hoping that former Sox great Robin Ventura can lead
the team as well as he performed for the Sox during most of his
exceptional 16-year career in the same manner Kirk Gibson did
last season with Arizona.
In fact, the situations are somewhat similar. The Sox haven’t
advanced to the post-season since 2008. The Diamondbacks,
meanwhile, overcame two last-place finishes in the National
League West to make a 29-game improvement and overtake defending
World Series champion San Francisco.
