Cora on Josh Fields: You'll be shocked
Camp Cora has been up and running throughout the winter, and the early progress reports have Josh Fields emerging as a leading candidate to "shock" the organization when he reports to spring camp in just over three weeks.
The third baseman was criticized by Ozzie Guillen last season for what the White Sox manager felt were diminishing skills as the year went on, so after a clean-up surgery on his knee in the fall, Fields opted to make a trip to Florida recently and work with Guillen and bench coach Joey Cora in preparation for taking over for free agent Joe Crede.
His goal? To make sure Guillen can’t criticize him — specifically his defense — any longer.
"I talked to Joey [on Monday] and he said [Fields is] moving better by far than he’s ever moved," hitting coach Greg Walker said. "[Cora] said we’ll be shocked.

BA hits on EA
Prior to Opening Day 2006, Guillen handed a note to ESPN reporter Erin Andrews from Sox CF Brian Anderson which read "Dear Erin, Do you like me? Check one: [ ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Maybe xOxOx Brian." Andrews reportedly responded with "[X] Who the hell is Brian Anderson? Give me Aaron Rowand any day."
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

D'Backs' Talks With Garland Resume
According to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, the Diamondbacks have resumed contract discussions with free agent starter Jon Garland. Piecoro says Garland initially turned down an Arizona offer in the two-year, $13-14MM range. It’s unclear which site restarted talks, but maybe that offer is starting to look better to Garland.

I guess if he turned down a 2-year/$13-14mm offer he ain’t coming to the South Side

Yep, he’s still a $10MM/year guy.

Who's got the lobbying power
to add a line to Obama’s Stimulus Bill that includes economic relief to Sox fans at the Cell for Beer purchases made in 2009?? We only have a few hours!
The Washington Post previews the House vote on the stimulus. “The House is scheduled to vote tonight on an $825 billion stimulus proposal aimed at creating 4 million jobs and giving individuals and businesses an infusion of cash. The bill includes $275 billion in tax cuts and $550 billion in spending on roads and bridges, alternative-energy development, health-care technology, unemployment assistance, and aid to states and local governments. The Senate is expected to consider a separate bill next week. Last night, the Finance and Appropriations committees passed parts of the stimulus bill that total about $888 billion, clearing the way for debate to begin in the full chamber.”

Kenny on SC5
Kenny said he thought about bringing free-agent starter Jon Garland back, but decided against it for a couple reasons.
The first, and most obvious? You got it, money.
Garland signed a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday for $6-8 million. Kenny said the Sox would rather save that money for a possible in-season addition.
The White Sox were hoping to add Freddy Garcia, but they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) match the Mets’ offer.
The second reason for passing on Garland was the presence of Jeff Marquez, who was acquired from the Yankees in the Nick Swisher trade.
Kenny said Marquez and Garland are similar pitchers.

Can dial it up to 94 if he needs to and has a power sinker. I think he’s already at least the third best starter in the entire organization. It would be stupid to block him. I can’t believe all it took to get him was Swisher.

Columbus
Colon looks to have the inside track on the fourth-starter spot, but some doubt exists as to whether he will be ready at the season’s outset. During a pre-SoxFest press conference at U.S. Cellular Field on Wednesday, White Sox general manager Ken Williams talked about the burly right-hander being targeted to truly get ready somewhere around the middle of March after Colon had bone chips taken out of his right elbow a few months ago.
“Guys like Bartolo and Buehrle, these guys need a couple of starts and they’re ready to go nine,” Williams said.

Fields and Viciedo add explosive bat element to the corners
I know some fans are upset about the youth rebuilding stuff happening with the Sox but Fields power with the bat and Dayan Viciedo’s hitting explosiveness and utility 3B and maybe 1B presence is going to be a big plus for this team. I mean you got a like Fields who when healthy is a slugger like Quentin and a 19yr. old rocket hitter like Viciedo who is called the Cuban Babe Ruth who might bring a very nice spark to this club when the second half of the season rolls around, which is when he would probably be debuted. I have a feeling both Fields and Konerko will get in their slumps, all players do, and maybe then Dayan Viciedo can be brought in to light it up. Especially if his some of his cuban idols both the cuban missile Ramirez and second half healthy Jose Contreras are there to give the boy guidance and confidance. Maybe these guys can bring a whole new meaning to bay of pigs slaughterhouse against the central division. Cuba Si! Yankees No!

sisco news
# The A’s deal for Russ Springer will be worth more than $3MM plus incentives. They’re also eyeing Brian Shouse and Andrew Sisco as possible pen additions. Sisco, recovering from Tommy John, has also auditioned for the Rockies and Giants.
…
# Tom Glavine’s agent Gregg Clifton did not attend yesterday’s meeting with Frank Wren; it was a health update and not a contract negotiation. Rosenthal says Glavine figures to seek a Freddy Garcia-like deal. The Braves need to save money to add an outfielder, with Nick Swisher atop their list. The Yankees’ goal in moving Swisher or Xavier Nady would be to recoup prospects.

Check the marketplace, please.
Kenny did OK – he couldn’t move him with a bulldozer right now. That previously cheap contract looks a lot fairer now.
Speaking of Swisher, I had no idea our guys were so flashy on “D” last year. MLB Network last night was replaying their top 9 defensive plays at each position. I stayed awake long enough to see Danks with the top play at P (the playoff tag at home), Swisher with the runner-up at 1B catching a popup over his shoulder (ah, he’ll be missed), and Che getting only the runner-up at 2B for his flip to Paulie (which was ESPN’s Play of the Year – shows what they know).
Who knew we were so good?
