From yesterday:
Oh, the great names. Aaron Miles. Ross Gload. Kenny Lofton. Josh Paul. Robert Machado. Matt Karchner. And a whole lot of other players who appeared for both the Cubs and White Sox since interleague play began in 1997. Kosuke Fukudome will join that list as soon as he plays in a game for the White Sox.
Three White Sox players with less than five years of service time in the majors cannot be sent to the minors without passing through waivers. But Alejandro De Aza, Brent Lillibridge and Philip Humber all have a good chance to stick with the White Sox in 2012, so losing them via waivers if they struggle isn't a pressing concern.
The Cubs haven't agreed to anything with Jorge Soler, as was reported earlier in the week, and the White Sox reportedly remain interested in the 19-year-old Cuban defector.
U-God at South Side Sox argues why the Cubs playing at U.S. Cellular Field would be a good thing, while Jim runs down some thoughts on Fukudome. Meanwhile, James isn't a fan of Fukudome's defense.
Brandon Warne at Fangraphs asks who baseball's most underrated starter is, and while he began the process with Minnesota's Scott Baker, he concludes that Miami's Anibal Sanchez wins that crown.
Also on the subject of Minnesota, Nick Nelson of Nick's Twins Blog has been running a fantastic series this week looking at some Twins things to watch for. So far, he's looked at Glen Perkins' slider, Danny Valencia's defense and Carl Pavano's strikeouts.

And one more Twins link: Seth Stohs interviewed Terry Doyle on his podcast. There's a little bit in there about the White Sox, with Doyle saying he was itching to get to another system and jumped up screaming when he found out the Twins took him in December's Rule 5 Draft.
