White Sox | Adam Dunn's problems started early

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:21:57 -0800

Former Chicago White Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen said hitting coach Greg Walker foresaw problems with DH Adam Dunn's swing in spring training last year. "He says 'We have a problem,'" Guillen said. "I say 'What? Spring training is only a couple of days (old).' He says 'You've got to come out and see Adam Dunn's swing.' I said 'Don't worry about it. We've got a month and a half to get ready, go through spring training. Don't worry about it.'" Guillen said the team tried everything to snap him out of his funk but nothing worked.

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:46:08 -0800

Chicago White Sox SP Jake Peavy said he's as healthy as he can be right now. "I'm as 100 percent as I can be. I don't know if I'm 100 percent as to what I was four years ago," Peavy said. "I know I'm as 100 percent as 100 percent is going to get after what I had done (surgically). I guess that's the best way to say it."

White Sox | Gordon Beckham developed bad habits?

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:15:16 -0800

The consensus for Chicago White Sox 2B Gordon Beckham's struggles last season was that he had developed a hitch in his swing. However, Beckham has been against that thought process. "Everybody wants to say I have a hitch in my swing," Beckham said. "It's the easiest thing in the world to say when I'm not hitting. There are a lot of other things going into it, but I'm not going to get into them. But the one thing I am doing is I'm getting loaded up, ready to go, prepared to hit the ball hard, as opposed to kind of feeling for it, which is what I was doing last year." He has been spending many hours in the cages this offseason to correct his mental approach heading into the 2012 season.
