White Sox morning roundup

Share

From yesterday:

With a value of 600 million -- up 14 percent from last year -- the White Sox are among the top 10 most valuable franchises in baseball, according to Forbes.

Terry Doyle was acquired from Minnesota after the Sox lost him to the Twins in December's Rule 5 Draft. He'll start 2012 at Triple-A Charlotte.

A bunch of hitters had big days against, of all people, Felix Hernandez. Alexei Ramirez, Brent Lillibridge and Kosuke Fukudome led a 13-run offensive attack.

Kenny Williams admitted Dayan Viciedo -- who missed Wednesday's game after having a tooth pulled -- is "uncomfortable" in left field, but he's hopeful the 23-year-old will acclimate himself to the position.

Jesse Crain's still dealing with an oblique injury. Something to worry about?

We rolled out our All-Chicago team for 1960-1969. In short, that was a hell of a decade for White Sox pitching.

Good stuff from South Side Sox: Jim takes a few national reports on Robin Ventura and tries to piece together the origins of the team's decision to hire him. And this is from Tuesday, but Fornelli's spring pitcher power poll has Hector Santiago, Brian Bruney and Dylan Axelrod locking down the three currently-open bullpen spots.

Around the division: Former White Sox outfielder Jason Bourgeois (for all of six games in 2008) may wind up as a backup in Kansas City, Greg Holland and Jonathan Broxton are the early replacements for Joakim Soria, Twins Daily's Nick Nelson analyzes Minnesota's center field situation, Chris Perez looks like he'll be with Cleveland on Opening Day and Tigers fifth starter candidate Andy Oliver was lit up by the Twins.
