From yesterday:
Adam Dunn wants to win AL Comeback Player of the Year, he tells Chuck Garfien. The slugger also opened up about his 2011 struggles in speaking to Garfien.
Tony Andracki and I rolled out our All-Decade Chicago Team of the 1990s, with Chuck and David Kaplan offering up their thoughts on the roster from Arizona. This one appears to be a little less controversial than our last one, although catcher was once again a point of debate. I don't think it will be for the 1980s, though, which we'll do next week.
Dayan Viciedo looks pretty well set to play left field as Monday's spring training opener draws close.
Beyond the team's success, a strong start should push ticket sales in the right direction for the Sox. Luckily, their first 35 games shape up to be among the easiest in the American League.
Good stuff here: The pre-season injury report for the White Sox. Only three guys rate as serious injury risks, although Chris Sale, Dayan Viciedo and Jake Peavy all are extremely important to the success of the 2012 team.
Could the expanded playoff picture affect the White Sox this year? Probably not, although it's good news for the second-place teams in the AL East and West.

We had quick commentary on a pair of Fangraphs posts analyzing Keenyn Walker's skillset and looked at the Sox closer situation from a fantasy perspective.
The White Sox and the University of Illinois announced a partnership -- so if you're an Illini backer, June 1 may be a good date to save.
Around the division: Jim Leyland forgets about the 1997 Marlins, Justin Morneau appears to be fine, George Brett's getting pumped about Kansas City's talent and Shin-Soo Choo is now a trained soldier.
