I kinda think they take a wait and see approach with Beckham given that the Sox haven't made a move for either a 3B or a COF.

Im excited for Spring Training. Not sure what to think of this year so we will see. Things I wana watch for: Sale and Viciedo's progression, Danks' health, Ramirez needing to start out hot swinging the bat, see if Quintana can develop. I really like Quintana's composure and grittyness. Sure hope this lineup can start fast. Wana see how the bullpen shapes up. Im intrigued I think its got a shot to be the best. And for the fucking love of God please Beckham swing the bat

White Sox think leg kick might help Dayan Viciedo at the plate
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com February 7, 2013 11:18PM
White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto wants outfielder Dayan Viciedo to incorporate a little leg kick into his swing.
A slight lift of the front foot as the pitch is approaching will help Viciedo’s timing, Manto said, but here’s the kicker: When Viciedo, 23, figures out how pitchers are attacking him, his production should go beyond the .255 average, 25 home runs and 78 RBI he put up in 2012, his first full season in the majors.

While the Sox expect catcher
Tyler Flowers to pick up some — but not all — of departed A.J. Pierzynski’s offense, they also anticipate Viciedo and second baseman Gordon Beckham adding more. Viciedo’s bat speed is off the charts, but he has holes in his swing and flaws in his approach that need to be fixed. He struck out 120 times and drew 28 walks last season.
‘‘He’s going to get better once he gets the timing down,’’ Manto said on a conference call Thursday. ‘‘That’s what’s scary about this guy: He didn’t do a lot of things right, and he had those numbers. Once he calms himself down and understands what the pitchers are doing to him, he’s going to be a big-time impact player. I really believe that. The numbers he put up, they’re
legit. It’s a shame he got a little cold at the end of the season, but these are numbers he can sit on.’’
Manto had hoped to meet with Viciedo this winter in Florida, but those plans didn’t pan out. So he’ll get going on the kick when spring training begins next week in *Glendale, Ariz.
‘‘That’s not going to be a big deal,’’ Manto said.
Hmmm..Got to keep an eye on this

Wasn't sure that this was needing it's own thread, but thought I would pass this along. News on Floyd, Danks, Thorton

I know it is only ST, but as hot as Mitchell is, what would he have to do to get a 4/5 OF spot?
