I remember reading he was like that with Thomas when he was in Oakland, trying to soak up all he could from him.

welcome O-Cab...

small guy, kinda like pablo

Who is the lefty that does not have a beard and is listed as John Danks? I'm pretty sure that's not him. I apologize if this was covered previously but after reviewing 80 pages on another site about the B Wallace trade, I didn't have the patience to search for an answer to this.

Sneaky Cuban stole Swisher's bat!

PK's also looking a little trimmer.

Carlos Lee and Darin Erstad:

how long before erstad goes down? before breaking camp is my guess.

Does anybody have anymore pictures of our team other than the ones already shown?

Richar MIA Day 3 and other camp tidbits

 

Is there a way to defect from the Dominican Republic?

 

If there is, White Sox second baseman Danny Richar might want to explore that option.

Saturday came and went without the club hearing anything from their second-year infielder, and while manager Ozzie Guillen wasn’t feeling the need to completely bury Richar, there was no question that as each day goes by, Richar moves deeper and deeper into his skipper’s doghouse.

Guillen was asked if Richar’s fallen off the depth chart for that starting job at second, and after a long pause said, “He's going to have a legit shot. Not because of a mistake you make, I'm going to take this thing away. But when you are a couple days late and guys are getting ready for the season, that could hurt you.’’

As far as Guillen is concerned, former starting shortstop Juan Uribe and rookie Alexei Ramirez have each made a strong case to earn the job through the early days of camp, and the longer Richar is out, the harder it will be for him.

“I can talk about this issue because I played with this visa for 10-11 years,’’ Guillen added. “If you're supposed to be in spring training one day, you're not going to get your visa the day before.’’

 

-- Octavio Dotel was filthy on Saturday, breaking Nick swisher’s bat and leaving hitters shaking their heads.

 

-- Knuckleballer Charlie Haeger – fresh off shooting a 74 last week – was working with Gavin Floyd on his golf swing after practice.

 

-- Third baseman Joe Crede was back in the batting cages on Saturday, after a bruised hand hampered him the last two days. Crede also participated in live batting practice.

 

-- Sunday’s workout will be a short one, with the players getting a break before Monday’s scheduled intrasquad game. Call it a walk-through, and insert Bill Belichick joke here.

check out the PK interview on whitesox.com -- Paulie making an emphatic point that the crede/fields issue needs to be resolved sooner than later. Speaks highly of Josh.

I really hope Alexei Ramirez wins the second base job over Uribe. I don't want to see Ozuna win it, because he is much more valuable off of the bench.

I really hope Richar gets his papers situated so he can beat out both of those guys for the starting job.He has a higher ceiling and a brighter future than any of our second basemen.

Anyone but Uribe please. I'd also rather not have Pablo but I could see him batting against the lefties.

The writing is on the wall for Danny. He is buried. Does he have an option left?

I wonder what that tattoo is that Brian has on his left bi-cep.

Kalapse who is in that picture to the right or Orlando Cabrera.

 

Is that Alexei?

It's a full sleeve that he got in honor of his Grandfather.
