Chicago White Sox may get minor leaguers for…

Published: Sept. 27, 2011 at 4:27 PM

Former Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen smiles as he stands in the dugout against the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field on August 31, 2011 in Chicago. The Twins won 7-6. UPI/Brian Kersey 

CHICAGO, Sept. 27 (UPI) — The Chicago White Sox would be compensated if Ozzie Guillen winds up with an undisclosed team, likely the Florida Marlins, the Chisox’s general manager says.

Chicago released Guillen as their field manager Monday and it was widely reported he could land with the Florida Marlins. Guillen, 47, had wanted out if the White Sox wouldn’t give him a contract extension beyond 2012.

In a Twitter post at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Guillen wrote: “Weird to be in miami in this time but very happy ready to go.”

Chisox General Manager Ken Williams said the team has agreed on compensation with an undisclosed team but Guillen is free to negotiate with any club, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The newspaper said the White Sox would get two minor league players as compensation if he signs with Florida. The Tribune said two scouting sources said Guillen is expected to be offered a four-year deal by the Marlins worth nearly $16 million.

At Florida, Guillen would succeed interim manager Jack McKeon, who announced Monday he would retire at season’s end. McKeon took over in June when Edwin Rodriguez quit.

MLB.com has reported one of the minor leaguers will be infielder Osvaldo Martinez. The Tribune indicated the other player isn’t expected to come from Florida’s current 40-man roster

Guillen managed the White Sox to a record of 678-617 during his eight-year tenure and a World Series title in 2005.

The White Sox have a losing record this season and are in third place in the American League Central.

Gotta run!.

White Sox hope to break the brooms out in…

Written by

The Sports Network

(Sports Network) – The Chicago White Sox take aim at their second four-game
sweep of the Minnesota Twins in just over three years as the two clubs
conclude their series this evening.

Pitching has helped the White Sox dominate this set so far after they came in
riding a four-game slide. They won the first portion of a doubleheader on
Monday by a 2-1 margin, then saw Zach Stewart threw a near-perfect game to win
the nightcap.

Last night was Jake Peavy’s turn in Chicago’s second straight shutout as he
battled flu-like symptoms to pitch into the seventh inning of a 3-0 win. He
escaped trouble in each of the first four innings, but ended up allowing only
four hits while striking out nine and winning for the third time in 11 starts
since the beginning of July.

“I’ve been battling a head cold, congestion,” said Peavy. “I was a little more
aggressive. We didn’t have a whole lot of 1-2-3 innings, but I had a good game
plan. I stretched out enough to get a win.”

Alex Rios had a solo homer and Alejandro De Aza had two hits, including an RBI
single for Chicago, which still trails first-place Detroit by eight games in
the American League Central.

Facing three games in two days, the struggling Twins made a rare move as they
became the first time in 25 years to start three players making their major
league debuts in the same game.

Australian-born righty Liam Hendriks (0-1) pitched admirably in his debut, but
was saddled with the loss after giving up three runs on four hits in seven
innings.

“I went out there and attacked my pitch plan,” Hendriks said. “It worked
pretty good. I walked a couple of guys, which is kind of irritating for me. I
hate walking people, but I got out of it and got through it pretty well.”

First baseman Chris Parmelee and center fielder Joe Benson were also called up
from the minor leagues to make their MLB debuts, but arrived to see the Twins
lose their fifth straight game.

Parmelee was 2-for-4 with leadoff singles in the second and fourth innings,
but was stranded at third base both times. Benson batted first in the order
and went 0-for-3 with a walk.

Overall, Minnesota is 3-14 in its past 17 games and has lost eight of its last
nine versus Chicago.

John Danks will try to rebound for the White Sox tonight following his first
loss in five starts last time out.

The left-hander fired a three-hit shutout at Seattle on Aug. 27 before getting
lit up for eight runs over 4 2/3 innings of a loss to the Tigers on Friday.
Danks had been 2-0 in his previous four appearances, but dipped to 6-10 with a
4.01 earned run average on the season.

Danks has faced the Twins just once this season and got a loss back on May 3
despite a quality start. The 26-year-old yielded three runs in eight innings,
but is 6-8 with a 4.95 ERA versus Minnesota lifetime regardless.

Carl Pavano aims to build off his first win since the All-Star break with
tonight’s start versus the White Sox.

The 35-year-old was 0-5 over his previous nine games before recording a win at
the Angels on Friday. He allowed four runs — three earned — on seven hits
over 6 2/3 innings, but did not allow a homer after yielding five in his
previous three outings.

“The guys put together some great at-bats,” said Pavano, who won for the first
time since July 7 at the White Sox. “The Angels are aggressive, but I was able
to keep the ball down in the zone and keep them off-balance.”

The right-hander is 7-11 with a 4.60 ERA and lost to Chicago on Aug. 6 despite
yielding only one earned run in eight innings of work. Pavano is 8-4 with a
3.26 ERA versus the White Sox lifetime.

White Sox 3, Twins 0

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jake Peavy struck out a season-high nine and Alex Rios homered to help the Chicago White Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Peavy (7-7) allowed four hits and walked two in 6 1-3 innings against a Twins team that had three players who were called up from Double-A in the last two days.

Alejandro De Aza had two hits, including a triple, and an RBI, and Sergio Santos picked up his 29th save for the White Sox, who have won three in a row and eight of 12.

Liam Hendriks (0-1) allowed three runs and four hits over seven innings in his major league debut. Chris Parmelee had two hits in his first game as a pro, but the Twins lost for the 14th time in 17 games.

Paul Konerko, who hasn’t hit a homer in his last 60 at-bats, got a much-needed day off, but the White Sox still managed to scratch together enough offense for Peavy. Brent Morel added an RBI single as the Sox beat the Twins for the eighth time in the last nine games in the series.

The White Sox are in the middle of a stretch of 28 straight games against the AL Central, but they only have three games left against division-leading Detroit. The Tigers beat the Indians 10-1 on Tuesday night, keeping the White Sox eight games back.

“We’re still in the pennant race,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “I know it’s going to be hard. … One thing about it, we’re not going to quit.”

There was a time when the Twins owned the White Sox, going 29-7 against them in a stretch that included six straight victories to open 2011. But the wheels have come off for a Twins team that expected to contend for a third straight division title.

Calling up Hendriks, Parmelee and center fielder Joe Benson from Double-A New Britain gave the Twins three players in the starting lineup making their major league debuts for the first time in franchise history, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau.

Benson misplayed a fly ball from De Aza in the fifth inning, diving for it and letting it get past him for a triple. Morel followed with a single to give the White Sox a 3-0 lead.

That was plenty for Peavy, who stranded runners on third base in the second and fourth innings but never really ran into trouble all night long. Joe Mauer went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts, hearing plenty of boos when Matt Thornton got him swinging in the eighth.

The Twins were shut out for the 12th time this season, tied a season high with 14 strikeouts and have managed just two runs in their last four games. They trail the Tigers by 22 games in the Central and were officially eliminated from the playoff race on Tuesday night.

NOTES: The Twins said Justin Morneau will go through early batting practice on Wednesday to test his concussion symptoms. Even though he is not on the DL, he will have to get approval from Major League Baseball before being cleared to return to the field. When he does, Morneau will only DH and not play 1B. … The last team to debut at least three players in the starting lineup on the same day was the San Diego Padres, when they had four in 1986. … The last time three Twins made their big league debuts in the same game was April 7, 1999, against Toronto, when Joe Mays, Dan Perkins and Mike Lincoln all came out of the bullpen. … Guillen said he considered giving Konerko one of the games of Monday’s doubleheader off, but wanted to get him a full day’s rest. Konerko will be back in the lineup on Wednesday night. … White Sox OF Juan Pierre went 0 for 4 and remains two hits shy of 2,000 for his career. … RHP Carl Pavano (7-11, 4.60) takes the mound in the series finale on Wednesday night against White Sox LHP John Danks (6-10, 4.01). Danks is just 2-7 on the road this season, the fourth-lowest winning percentage in the majors. But he’s 6-2 with a 2.85 ERA over his last 12 starts after starting the season 0-8 with a 5.25 ERA. Pavano is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA in three starts against the Sox this year. He’s given up an AL-high 221 hits this season and has allowed nine or more in eight of his last nine starts.

White Sox eye sixth straight win vs. Twins

Written by

The Sports Network

(Sports Network) – The Chicago White Sox take aim at their sixth straight win
this evening when they go for a sweep in the finale of a three-game series
with the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field.

The White Sox continued to roll on Tuesday, as they scored five times in the
eighth inning on their way to an 8-6 win. Alejandro De Aza belted a three-run
homer and Juan Pierre added an RBI single for Chicago, which has won seven of
nine, but remains five games behind the AL Central-leading Tigers, who beat
the Royals in extra innings earlier Tuesday.

Rookie starter Zach Stewart gave up six runs in 4 2/3 innings for Chicago, but
Will Ohman (1-3) recorded the final out in the top of the fifth to earn the
win. Sergio Santos fanned three in a scoreless ninth to record his 28th save
of the season.

“We’re putting together a nice little run here,” said Paul Konerko. “The best
thing to do is not think about that, just keep taking it day by day.”

After this series, the White Sox will visit the Tigers for three games at
Comerica Park.

Jason Kubel hit a three-run homer for the Twins, who have lost 11 of 13.

Twins starter Anthony Swarzak (3-5) lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing eight runs
— six earned — on six hits.

“They beat me when they had the chance,” said Swarzak. “They got guys on and
they got them in and that’s what it’s all about.”

As if things weren’t bad enough for the Twins, former AL MVP Justin Morneau is
dealing with mild concussion symptoms. It was a head injury that cost Morneau
the entire second half of last season.

“I’m sure it makes him nervous, but it’s something that he’s had to really
deal with for a long time,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “So it’s something we
don’t take very lightly around here. We’ll be really careful with this
situation.”

Hoping to keep the White Sox in the win column this afternoon will be righty
Jake Peavy, who is 6-6 with a 4.93 ERA. Peavy beat the Seattle Mariners on
Friday, holding them to a pair of runs and seven hits in six innings.

Peavy tossed eight scoreless innings to beat the Twins back on August 7 and is
1-1 in four starts against them with 3.24 ERA.

Minnesota, meanwhile, will counter with lefty Scott Diamond, who has lost his
first two starts. After losing to Cleveland, Diamond was defeated by Detroit
on Friday, as he surrendered five runs (four earned) and 10 hits in just 6 1/3
innings.

Up until this current series Minnesota had been a thorn in Chicago’s side this
season, taking seven of the 11 matchups, including five of the six played in
Chicago.
