A small price for Paulie
Even before he inked his four-year, $56 million contract with the White Sox, slugger Adam Dunn showed what kind of teammate he's going to be on the South Side. The sought-after free agent agreed to backloaded money on his contract so Sox general manager Ken Williams might have more to offer Paul Konerko in an attempt to keep the longtime captain and first baseman.

Looks like Dunn deal
No stranger to chasing down his white whales, Ken Williams harpooned his latest one on Thursday. And it's a doozy. The Sun-Times first reported back in June that slugger Adam Dunn was sought by the White Sox' general manager, but Washington's asking price in completing the trade became completely unrealistic.

Reinsdorf: Not a duo-die situation with Oz, Williams
ORLANDO, Fla. -- General manager Ken Williams can add anybody he wants to the White Sox' roster, and manager Ozzie Guillen can redefine ''Ozzie Ball'' into anything he wants it to be.

WHITE SOX: Ramirez 'thrilled' with award
There were many who questioned the sanity of White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen when he insisted two years ago that Alexei Ramirez would not only be one of the best shortstops in the American League, but also better than Guillen in his own playing days.

Three former Sox scouts indicted for taking kickbacks
The shelf life on minor-leaguers in the lower levels of a baseball organization's farm system is a short one. There's a new line of players forming behind you each year, so you're either moving up or moving out. Infielder Juan Silverio knows that all too well, bouncing between Class A Rookie League and Class A Kannapolis since signing with the White Sox as a 16-year-old...

WHITE SOX: Source: Williams would give Quentin for Rasmus
If it's not nailed down or named "Reinsdorf,'' White Sox general manager Ken Williams will try to trade it -- as supported by a Sun-Times report Friday that Williams had offered manager Ozzie Guillen to the Florida Marlins for highly touted outfielder Mike Stanton.

Marlins had their chance
Chris De Luca: As Ozzie Guillen stepped to the Fox TV platform nestled between the giant Coca-Cola bottle and old-time mitt in left-center field at AT&T Park on Thursday, he enjoyed the same kind of rock-star treatment in the Bay Area that he often gets on the South Side.

MLB playoffswhy should we watch? 16 reasons
Kyle Koster: Baseball playoffs begin tomorrow afternoon. Chicago will be standing pat on its singular baseball title since 1917, as both the White Sox and Cubs failed to reach the postseason. But there's plenty of compelling baseball left to be played, thanks in part to new blood and, naturally, a few blue bloods. And that, more than anything, is why this playoff field is appealing.

Ozzie Guillen was looking for a positive, feel-good moment to sum up the roller-coaster ride that was the 2010 season. ''Every day you learn something when you put this uniform on,'' the White Sox manager said. Then it was almost as if the brakes screeched in Guillen's head, and
feel-good went out the window to the reality of what the season really
was.
