The thought of Will Ohman coming into future White Sox games as a reliver really makes me sad!

My favorite teams
Will Ohman needs to be used as a loogy. If he's just going to be thrown out there whenever Oz feels like he is going to get tagged. Then he's going to be moved into long relief and be hated by the fans because he sucks because Ozzie won't use him right.

Bang on. Take out Hannahan's (who, despite being early, seems like it may not matter which one of our pitchers are pitching against him) 2 ABs against Ohman, and he's done fine against lefties.

Paul Konerko has been through his share of slumps, as all players have, and so he spoke to Gordon Beckham last summer with empathy, with experience. After having immediate success in 2009, Beckham's batting average on June 8 was .199.
"You're going to look back on this and in five or six years, you'll be glad you went through it," Konerko told Beckham.
Because as miserable and frustrating as last year was at times for Beckham, he learned he could dig himself out of a hole. He learned he could bounce back. And he went into the offseason highly charged and motivated to get better, which is why Beckham started lifting weights a week after he got home. "I really found out what type of player I was," Beckham said Saturday evening. "It was not easy."
No. But Beckham had a great start to his spring training and he has opened up well this year, throwing out a couple of more hits and two RBIs as Chicago pounded the Indians again. Beckham has five hits in his first eight at-bats this season, with a walk.
Looking back, Beckham believes he got caught up in expectations for him, and it wasn't until just before the All-Star break that he rebounded. "Once I got out of my own head," he said, "it was relatively easy. You've got to grow as a player, and I've learned."
By summer's end, he had taken his average to .252, and right away in the offseason, he started weight work, with his legs and upper body, pull-ups and push-ups. Beckham decided he wanted more strength to help him get through the grind of the long season, and he put on about 10 pounds -- and he feels that, in the way he put on the weight, he was able to retain flexibility and mobility.
He is hitting in the No. 2 spot for Ozzie Guillen, in front of Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko, Alex Rios and Carlos Quentin, in what looks like a powerful lineup; the White Sox have racked up 23 runs in the first two days of the season.
Quentin is off to a great start, and the White Sox are 2-0 for the first time since 2005, the year they won the World Series. The White Sox roster hit, from top to bottom.
John Danks will take the mound today after visiting a dentist.
Follow the money
The Dodgers' payroll over the past four years:
2008: $118 million
2009: $100 million
2010: $102 million
2011: $92 million
That's a reduction of more than 20 percent in three years.
Some other first impressions, from the first days of the season:
1. Texas has major questions at the back end of its rotation, but the Rangers' offense is so potent, with the additions of Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli, that there should be a great margin for error for the starters. As one rival GM said Saturday, there is no room to breathe for a starting pitcher when facing the Texas lineup, and while the Napoli trade led to a winter dispute between Michael Young and the front office, it's clear that Napoli's presence makes their powerful lineup even better.
As Texas GM Jon Daniels wrote in a text message about the back end of the rotation, they just need to have more good days than bad.
The Rangers racked up 21 runs in the first two games of the season, with Ian Kinsler leading the way, twice. He is the first player in history to hit leadoff home runs in the first two games of the year. There's thunder up and down this lineup, writes Gil LeBreton.
Boston's pitching has been utterly wrecked; John Lackey didn't make it out of the fourth inning, and he was at a loss to explain his struggles, writes Michael Silverman.
2. Some evaluators and scouts who have seen the Yankees in their last days of spring training, and in the first couple of games of the regular season, believe that Derek Jeter is struggling to find what he's looking for in altering his stride. The book on how to pitch Jeter has always been about working him inside, and for most of his career, he has had the ability to make pitchers pay by sometimes turning on inside fastballs and driving them for extra-base hits, to left and left-center field -- such as when he mashed Bobby Jones' first pitch of Game 4 in the 2000 World Series for a homer.
He has done that less and less, however, and for a lot of 2010, he tended to take his stride in such a way that he jammed himself. Near the end of last season, he worked to all but eliminate his stride -- but he still is not turning on the ball, evaluators say. In spring training, he tended to hit a lot of ground balls, and in the first couple of games, Jeter has put the ball in play seven times, five of those times with ground balls. "He doesn't look comfortable at all, to my eyes," said one evaluator.
Jeter's slugging percentage dropped from .465 in 2009 to .370 in 2010, while his ratio of ground balls has climbed from 1.39 in 2009 to 1.96 in 2010. Unless there is a turnaround in his performance, it stands to reason that the Yankees would drop him to the No. 8 spot, because they have productive alternatives in Curtis Granderson or Nick Swisher.
3. The Rangers are trying to establish Julio Borbon as their center fielder. But you do wonder if, in time, they throw up their hands and just play David Murphy in left and move Josh Hamilton in center. Borbon is not a good outfielder, and right now, Murphy is the better player.
Murphy's hit on Opening Day gave that campaign a jolt, writes Randy Galloway.
4. Carl Crawford is still looking for his first hit with Boston after a couple of days, and he looked very, very anxious in his debut Friday, overswinging.
Buster's New Book
Olney Buster Olney is the author of the book "How Lucky You Can Be" about basketball coach Don Meyer. In 2009, Meyer was the honored recipient of the Jimmy V Award at the ESPYS.
"Surprising and unforgettable." - Mike Krzyzewski
"Olney knows the beating heart of life and the pulse of humanity that makes sports matter." - George F. Will
"A true inspiration." - Pat Summitt
5. From the Elias Sports Bureau: Brett Gardner, Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher became the first set of Yankees outfielders to start on consecutive Opening Days since Tom Tresh (left field), Joe Pepitone (center field) and Bill Robinson (right field) started in 1967 and 1968.
Dings and dents
1. The Cardinals will wait a few days to decide what to do with Matt Holliday.
2. Ubaldo Jimenez will not make a start until he can throw at his usual velocity. He was throwing 92 mph in his debut, rather than his easy 95-96 mph, because he couldn't grip the ball, Troy Renck writes.
3. The disabled list is unlikely for Mike Stanton, who came out of Friday's game with hamstring tightness, and did not play on Saturday.
4. In the big picture, the Rays' loss of Evan Longoria was the worst part of Saturday's game; he could be out several weeks, writes Marc Topkin.
5. The Rockies won, but Jorge De La Rosa was hurt.
6. Brian Cashman says the Mets abused Pedro Feliciano.
7. Luke Scott suffered a groin strain.
8. Kurt Suzuki's ankle is fine.
9. Bronson Arroyo will take the mound with mono today.
10. Joel Pineiro is out with shoulder soreness.
Moves, deals and decisions
1. There are doubts about Ryan Madsen as a closer, writes Bob Brookover.
2. Brett Lawrie, who will soon be installed at third base for the Jays, has changed agents, picking Joe Urbon.
3. Ivan Rodriguez will split time behind the plate.
4. Jameson Taillon, the first pitcher taken in the draft last year, will start this season in extended spring.
5. Freddy Sanchez worked out an extension.
Saturday's games
1. Kyle Drabek was outstanding in picking up his first win in the big leagues, with some help from Jose Molina. He is the second Drabek that Jim Thome has faced, Bob Elliott writes.
2. You can't stop the Mariners, you can only hope to contain them; Seattle is 2-0, and Ichiro is now the M's all-time hits leaders.
3. The Padres have done something that they haven't done in five years, in St. Louis, as Bill Center writes. The Padres may end up surprising you, writes Tim Sullivan.
4. John Lannan started strongly for the Nationals, as Adam Kilgore writes.
5. Evan Meek took the blame for the Pirates' loss Saturday, writes Gene Collier.
6. In the first two days, the Mets have shown a flair for the dramatic, writes David Waldstein.
7. Mark Teixeira is typically a slow starter, but he has hit a home run in each of the first two games of the season, the first Yankees player to do so since Hideki Matsui in 2005. He is just the fourth Yankee over the past 40 seasons to hit a home run in each of the team's first two games of the season, joining Matsui, Dave Winfield (1983) and Graig Nettles (1973).
A.J. Burnett has his head in the game, writes John Harper.
8. Chris Tillman had a good game.
9. Cliff Lee punched out 11, writes Matt Gelb.
10. Oakland is 0-for-2 against Seattle.
11. The Giants broke out. Mark DeRosa did something seemingly insane.
From Jacob Nitzberg of ESPN Stats and Information, how Matt Cain beat the Dodgers:
A) Cain allowed just two baserunners to reach scoring position, but buckled down as Dodgers hitters went 0-for-5 with RISP.
B) He mixed in nine curveballs and seven sliders to go along with his fastball and changeup. The Dodgers were 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the curve and slider.
C) He threw a strike in the first two pitches to all of the 22 batters he faced, including 14 on the first pitch.
12. The Cardinals issued a lot of walks.
13. Aaron Crow picked up his first victory.
14. Francisco Liriano couldn't find the plate.
15. The Astros' staff got pounded.
16. The Cubs' bats came alive, writes Toni Ginnetti.
17. Shaun Marcum struggled to find the strike zone.
18. Travis Wood was The Man for the Reds, as John Fay writes.
19. The Indians had their smallest crowd in Progressive Field, and lost. On a Saturday.
20. Brad Penny didn't give the Tigers a chance to win, writes Michael Rosenberg.
21. The Florida bullpen faltered, Clark Spencer writes.
22. A bullpen gamble by Joe Maddon fell apart, writes Roger Mooney. The bottom line is that none of Maddon's options are perfect, and he has to try to trust somebody. We knew going into this year that the great question about Tampa Bay was whether it could completely reconstruct the best bullpen in the majors.
22. Tommy Hanson's fastball command was not good, writes Carroll Rogers.
The patience index
For the second time in three days, Giants rookie Brandon Belt finds himself among the leaders in pitches seen. Belt saw 28 pitches in five plate appearances on Saturday, and his 66 pitches seen ties him for the most in the majors this season. Most pitches per plate appearance (min. 3):
Player Pitches PA P/PA
Ivan DeJesus, LAD 24 4 6.0
Kelly Johnson, ARI 24 4 6.0
Ian Stewart, COL 17 3 5.7
Brandon Belt, SF 28 5.6 5.6
Michael Bourn, HOU 28 5 5.6
Other stuff
• R.A. Dickey intends to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro next January. I get the feeling we'll be hearing more about this from the Mets in time, because mountain climbing is not typical preparation for spring training. As Dickey says within the piece, there is no specific clause restricting him from making this attempt, but I wonder if the Mets will ask him to make the journey after his pitching days are over.
• Mariano Rivera's save on Saturday required three pitches. It's his eighth save of three pitches or less, the most among active players. Only Trevor Hoffman has more (17) since Rivera's ML debut in 1995.
• There is sad news for Davey Lopes and his family.
• There is sad news about Lou Gorman.
• The Royals' prospects played in a Futures Game. Great idea.
• There is saber-rattling going on in the Rays' quest for a ballpark.
• Adrian Gonzalez has looked phenomenal with the Red Sox, with his bat and his glove.
• Zach Britton will have a bunch of family and friends on hand for his big league debut.
• Frank McCourt spoke of the tragedy in the Dodgers' parking lot.
• I agree completely with what Cubs GM Jim Hendry says here.
• The Twins are having problems in the middle infield, writes Tom Powers.
• Matt Garza is set to take the mound for the Cubs, as Gordon Wittenmyer writes.
• Fausto Carmona made history.
• The Yankees explained themselves to the commissioner's office. The signaling of velocity has been going on for years; when I was covering the Yankees for The New York Times years ago, I wrote a piece about how Derek Jeter communicated about the velocity readings. He did it out in the open; nobody was hiding anything.
• Joe Saunders will get the ball today after his rough spring.
• Brandon Phillips and Jim Edmonds differ in their perspective about each other.
• James Franco explained why he looked terrible hosting the Oscars: Anne Hathaway.
• Here is a review of Charlie Sheen's show, and let's just say: Not good.
• Vanderbilt is No. 1 in the nation. As it should be.
I meant to post columns on Friday and Saturday, but the Internet service went down both nights in the hotel where I was staying in Arlington, Texas, and 4 a.m. was not an opportune time to be asking about an air card. I'll post columns in each of the remaining days in April.
And today will be better than yesterday.
