Beckham, Poreda, Flowers Among 18 Invited to Sox Camp
The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on minor-league contracts with 13 players and will invite them to their spring training camp in Glendale, Ariz. Also receiving invitations are five players from the White Sox minor league system, including their last two first-round draft picks, left-handed pitcher Aaron Poreda (2007) and infielder Gordon Beckham (2008). Thirteen of the 18 spring training invitees have major-league experience.
The players receiving non-roster invites are infielders Javier Castillo, Bryan Myrow, Sergio Santos and Eider Torres, catchers Corky Miller and Chris Stewart, outfielders Josh Kroeger and Michael Restovich, right-handed pitchers Ryan Braun, Franklyn German, Brad Salmon and Jon Van Benschoten and left-handed pitcher Randy Williams. Catchers Tyler Flowers and Donny Lucy and right-handed pitcher Mike MacDougal will also be invited to spring training from the White Sox minor league system.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

i think macdougal should be mowing the lawn at camp.
i still believe he has value over replacement gardener.

It didn't specify why he is being invited.
He might be a groundskeeping staffer. He is of Scottish heritage. Scott’s Turf Builder!
PS Wiki says his nickname is “Mac the 9th”. BWAHAHA! Since when?
I would rather douse a newspaper in gasoline, wrap it around my penis and light it on fire then relive that experience

OT: The guy behind me on the train gives new meaning to the term "unwashed masses."
Why so serious?

I resemble that remark.
I don't need to look at fancy stats
to see if a guy is good or not. You might have to.
