White Sox morning roundup

Share

From yesterday:

John Danks was named the team's Opening Day starter, an honor that's been expected to be bestowed on the lefty for a few months now. He'll continue an interesting trend since 2000 -- only one right-hander since the turn of the millennium has started Opening Day, with that being Jose Contreras in 2007.

Before he was named as the team's Opening Day starter, Danks threw seven strong innings against the Dodgers, striking out four with no walks.

Kenny Williams, speaking with CSN's Pat Boyle, says he's encouraged by the progress of Alex Rios and Adam Dunn this spring. Rios hasn't put up good stats, but that's not of concern to Williams. Dunn, however, has looked great in the Cactus League.

Great stuff here from Chris Kamka: A look back at Donruss Rated Rookies of 1984-1990 from both Chicago teams. Robin Ventura, Jack McDowell, Daryl Boston and Joel Skinner were the White Sox representatives.

Around the division: Cleveland held a private workout with Vladimir Guerrero in the Dominican Republic, Magglio Ordonez is nearing retirement, Scott Baker was lit up in his first start in over two weeks and Rob Neyer isn't a fan of the Royals' decision to demote Johnny Giovatella.
