Ozzie Thinks Sox Best With Sale In Bullpen

Baseball season is just around the corner and Ozzie Guillen has his lineup set for the White Sox.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen joined Chris Rongey on White Sox Weekly to discuss what the White Sox need to do in the 2011 season. He says things need to be different this season.

"One week before camp, everybody is supposed to be in the starting lineup to play every day. For eight, nine innings whatever it takes, just to make sure those guys are ready mentally," Guillen said.

Rongey asked Ozzie if he thought Jake Peavy would be ready for opening day - the burning question on everyone's mind. "I doubt it," is how the White Sox manager answered. "I hope [he is ready], he is one of the best pitchers on the mound."

"I think to put him [Chris Sale] in the bullpen," Ozzie said when asked where the best place Sale should be. "I think the whole ball club is better with him [there]."

Ozzie shared the lineup he has in mind too.Expect to see Gordon Beckham, Alex Rios, Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko, possibly Carlos Quentin, A.J. Pierzynski, Mark Teahan, and a couple other favorites on the lineup.
