The Chicago White Sox made some aggressive offseason moves to bring in slugger Adam Dunn and retain the services of Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski.
A.J. Pierzynski has a reputation of being a player you hate to play against, but love as a teammate. Well newly acquired Jesse Crain is going to find out just how true that really is.
Jake Peavy took the mound for the second time during spring training and looked as strong as ever, despite the White Sox falling to the Giants. A.J. Pierzynski was especially impressed with Peavy's performance saying "His slider was as good as I've seen it in the last two years."
On his way to the Chicago White Sox spring training game against the Cincinnati Reds, catcher A.J. Pierzynski was pulled over and given a speeding ticket. If that wasn't bad enough, manager Ozzie Guillen tweeted about it.

Jake Peavy updated his health status on Wednesday. The 2007 Cy Young Award winner is coming of a 2010 in which he underwent season-ending surgery to repair a detached lat muscle in the shoulder.
Good news got better today. Not only did Paul Konerko re-sign with the White Sox, he deferred money from the final year of his contract. Something that makes the deal even better for the White Sox.
On the beach in Mexico last week, looking out on the ocean, there was very little that could go wrong in Paul Konerko's world at that moment.
The Chicago White Sox have re-signed Paul Konerko. Other reports indicate that the deal is for three-years and round $37 million.
