Vazquez's future in Sox' hands
0
Comment
October 7
Chicago Sun-Times
"
When the Tampa Bay Rays put the White Sox' season to bed Monday, it also ended the soap opera surrounding right-hander Javier Vazquez. Manager Ozzie Guillen was asked daily whether the Sox would go back to Vazquez in the postseason, despite one dismal outing after another. Now there are bigger questions about Vazquez's future, including whether he still has one with the Sox. Asked if the best therapy for Vazquez at this point would be a trade, Guillen didn't hesitate to say no. ''No matter if he's coming here or another place, he has to clear his mind up and show people how good he is,'' Guillen said. ''He is good. A lot of stuff didn't go his way. ... He just has to continue to be what he ...

Junior's return?

There's no thought of retirement in Ken Griffey Jr.'s mind, and no telling if he might in fact come back to the Sox next season. ''I'm not retiring. I have things to do,'' Griffey said, already at 611 home runs and turning 39 next month. But coming back to the Sox, his team of only two months? ''I'd like to come back,'' he said. ''It was a great ride. A lot of fun. I've had more ups than downs. The city, the fans, it's been great for me. This team fought all year. They were fun to be around. We'll see what happens.'' There might not be roster room for Griffey, but he has long been a favorite of Williams, who first tried to acquire him three years ago before making the deal this summer.

GM Williams wants to balance lineup, defense

White Sox fans should fasten their seat belts for what should be a wild winter. "I know what I want to do," general manager Ken Williams said Monday night after the Sox were eliminated from the postseason by Tampa Bay. "I've known what I've wanted to do for three months." Williams seems so convinced of his intentions that he plans a "very condensed" version of the annual organizational meetings held in the fall in the Phoenix area. The organizational meetings usually allow high-level staff members to share their evaluations of players and organizational needs. "You'll be in Las Vegas," Williams told two beat writers, referring to the site of the winter meetings Dec. 8-11. "You just never ...

If there's a Game 5, White Sox likely to start Buehrle

Chicago Tribune
"
Ozzie Guillen said before Sunday's 5-3 victory over Tampa Bay that this has been the toughest of his five seasons as White Sox manager, from lineup changes to injuries to off-the-field matters. But if the Sox force a fifth and deciding game in the American League Division Series with a win in Game 4 on Monday, Guillen's season could become more satisfying. Guillen appears to be learning toward starting ace Mark Buehrle against Tampa Bay in Game 5, provided Buehrle's left arm feels OK. Buehrle lost at Tampa Bay on Friday but limited the Rays to three runs through the first seven innings and beat Cleveland on Sept. 28 in a must-win game. "I'll see if he feels strong enough to start," Guillen ...

Guillen wants speedier White Sox next year

The White Sox's 2009 roster could feature Clayton Richard in the starting rotation and injured Jose Contreras working as a reliever if he's healthy. As for the prospect of adding much-needed speed to the lineup, manager Ozzie Guillen was reluctant to address the topic. "We need speed, but they have to have talent," Guillen said before the Sox beat Tampa Bay 5-3 Sunday to extend their American League Division Series. "I know I would like to see some more speed. But when you talk about speed, you can't talk about nine rabbits. You can't." The Sox plan to return injured Carlos Quentin to the third spot in the batting order. Quentin was not activated for the ALDS but ripped line drives Sunday ...

Crede all but done with Sox

It was five days later than expected, but the White Sox finally received the news they had been waiting for on third baseman Joe Crede. It was not good. Crede rejoined the team in Kansas City before the game Sunday against the Royals but refused to meet with the media to discuss his visit to Dallas to get a second opinion on his ailing back. Manager Ozzie Guillen, however, got the information and said it all. ''I don't think Joe will be back this year,'' Guillen said. ''He could be back but not be playing. It's going to be hard for him to come back and do it. He said the doctor found out what happened. From what he told me, we can't count on him this season.'' A team spokesman said the ...

Linebrink, Sox equally eager for return

Scott Linebrink didn't pitch for real Monday, but it was close enough. Throwing 29 pitches to Brian Anderson and Jerry Owens in a simulated game at Progressive Field, Linebrink completed the final step of a lengthy rehabilitation process. On the disabled list since July 23 with inflammation of the posterior of his right shoulder, Linebrink was reinstated to the White Sox' roster following the throwing session. "Seeing hitters for the first time, I always get a little bit of extra adrenaline going out there," Linebrink said. "A couple (pitches) were not where we wanted to be, but overall the command was decent. I had a lot of people out there watching, and they liked what they saw coming ...

Not much to do for Sox call-ups

The jury is still out on the overall quality, but the White Sox did add some quantity Monday, when 25-man rosters were allowed to expand. The Sox recalled relief pitchers Ehren Wasserman and Mike MacDougal and outfielder Jerry Owens from Class AAA Charlotte and also purchased the contract of catcher Paul Phillips from their top farm club. Today, the White Sox are expected to bring back infielder Chris Getz, third baseman Josh Fields and pitcher Lance Broadway from Charlotte. Wasserman and MacDougal pitched in Monday's loss to the Indians. So did Boone Logan, who returned from Triple-A on Sunday. Manager Ozzie Guillen said it's going to be difficult to get Owens, Getz and Fields off the ...

Linebrink will pitch simulated games soon

Reliever Scott Linebrink is scheduled to throw a simulated game Monday in Cleveland, and the White Sox plan to ease him into the bullpen as early as next week. Linebrink passed his latest test Friday with a 30-pitch bullpen session in which he felt no discomfort behind his right shoulder. But he hasn't pitched in a game since July 22, so the Sox want to be very careful not to rush him back into the setup role, in which he succeeded for the first three months of the season. "Wins are on the line, and we're going to go with guys we feel are here before we go off the board and throw him right in," pitching coach Don Cooper said. "I'm not sure if it would be fair for everybody." Said ...

Scott Linebrink close to pitching simulated game

Ozzie Guillen's wish might be granted soon. Because Scott Linebrink's right shoulder felt "great" after a 30-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, the reliever said a simulated game "might not be too far in the future." That could portend a return to the White Sox's bullpen. Linebrink has missed five weeks because of tendinitis behind his right shoulder and will throw off a mound Friday. Asked if his bullpen was ready for the final 29 games, Guillen requested heavenly intervention. "I believe in God," Guillen said. "God gave me a lot of great things. If God hears me, can he say: Linebrink, get healthy? God, can you please get him healthy for a month?" Linebrink thought he might have corrected a ...

Healthy Crede has a starting job

Yes, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen loves Juan Uribe and the way he has been playing third base, but that doesn't mean he has forgotten about Joe Crede, who is rehabilitating a back injury. So Guillen wants to clarify comments made at the beginning of the week about Crede's status when he returns. "I think people misunderstood my message to Joe," Guillen said. "If Joe Crede is ready to play, ready to perform, then he is my third baseman. Nobody loves Joe Crede more than me. I stick up for this kid all my life. But he has to be right [physically]." Crede hasn't played for the Sox since July 22, shortly after he was named to the American League All-Star squad. Guillen has said that he ...
