For all you doubters of Mcarthy I would stop because one hes pitching lights out and guess what he has done it agasint big top hitters such as mvp of last yr name Vlad. Brandon can pitch people and guess what his situation here just got better. Plus, for all doubters we have Hermanson to fill in if Mcarthy fails. Buerhle will be back in no time so dont worry its not like his arm is in trouble.

One Brewers' scout, when asked if he was at Thursday's game to watch Harris, smiled and said, "Willie Harris? I'm not sure I know who he is." !!!!!!!!! Yeah if the brewers scout did say that then you cant blame levine for getting information like that espically when scout tells us that.

On the block? A rumor put forth by a Chicago radio station that the Brewers had interest in Willie Harris was news to Harris himself when he was informed on Thursday. "I haven't heard it," Harris said. "That right there motivated me a little more. I didn't know that." With the signing of Tadahito Iguchi and left-handed hitters Ross Gload and Timo Perez already in reserve, Harris could have to deal with trade rumors during much of Spring Training. Guillen reiterated Thursday that he likes Harris' attitude, and that he's still part of the 25-man plans. But he didn't issue a blanket guarantee for the young second baseman to stay in Chicago. "Right now, we have room for him and we are counting on him," Guillen said of Harris. "That's really up to Kenny. Kenny knows what we need and will do the best he can to get this team better." "I have to concentrate on what I do here," Harris added. "I can't let trade talk distract me."

TUCSON, Ariz. -- White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen tried to make second baseman Tadahito Iguchi feel welcome on Monday as the Japanese All-Star prepares to play in the major leagues for the first time. Iguchi, who was acquired in January and signed to a two-year, $4.95 million contract, reported to camp with more than a dozen Japanese media members following his every move. He is expected to start at second base when the season opens April 4. Guillen pulled Iguchi, closer Shingo Takatsu and an interpreter away from the rest of the team -- and the media -- to express his hope that the Japanese players feel comfortable. "They have a different culture. They have different ways. They look at the manager in a different way," Guillen said. "Most of the time (Japanese players) try to hide from the group, and they are seated by themselves. "I want him to feel part of the team. I want him to know he is a member of the White Sox. I said, 'Don't look at me as a coach, look at me as a friend."' Takatsu went through the process of joining an American team for the first time last year. "(Takatsu) knows how we do it here," Guillen said. "When Shingo came in here he was in a shell. He was not opening up. I wouldn't say he was afraid, but he was worried about how he was going to do it here." Takatsu responded by winning the closer job and saving 19 of 20 attempts. Iguchi comes with high expectations after hitting .271 over eight years with Fukuoka in Japan, where he combined power and speed with 149 homers and 159 stolen bases. Through his interpreter, Iguchi said he "wants to see a different baseball and play in the majors." Meanwhile, the White Sox are trying to find a way to keep outfielder Aaron Rowand healthy, even if that means moving him to left field from center. Rowand chases after every loose ball and dives for anything within reach. "I worry a little bit that when you play center field like Aaron, you've got a good chance to get hurt," Guillen said. "Every time he dives for the ball, every time he goes to the wall, I don't want him to miss playing time. We're going to talk about where it would be better for him to stay healthy and play all year long." Where Rowand fits best will be determined starting Tuesday when the position players take the field for the first time after officially reporting Monday. Last season he batted .310 with 24 homers and 69 RBIs. Chicago will watch what Rowand can do in left, and see how newly acquired outfielder Scott Podsednik fares in center field. Jermaine Dye will be playing right field. In the pitching rotation, Jose Contreras has been moved up one spot to the No. 3 position, ahead of Orlando Hernandez. One reason Guillen gave for the switch is to have Hernandez's opening start at division rival Minnesota. "I think Contreras pitched really well when we played in Chicago, and El Duque has a lot of experience and he's a good road pitcher," Guillen said. Chicago opens the season April 4 for a three-game home series against Cleveland before traveling to Minnesota and Cleveland. Hernandez, who signed a two-year, $8 million deal in December, has a 31-21 career road record and a 4.21 ERA while pitching six seasons with the New York Yankees. Contreras, picked up in July in a trade with the Yankees, moves behind opening day starter Mark Buehrle and Freddy Garcia. Jon Garland makes up the fifth spot. Contreras had a 1.65 ERA in home starts compared to a 4.33 mark away from home a year ago.
