Van Slyke, Guillen Exchange BarbsDetroit first-base coach Andy Van Slyke and White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen engaged in a heated exchange after Guillen's actions on Sunday. Guillen, never known to back down from a battle, chuckled at Van Slyke's remarks, recalling an incident when Van Slyke played for Jim Leyland in Pittsburgh in the early 1990s. "I think Andy forgot a little bit that his manager, who I have a lot of respect [for], got on Barry Bonds in front of everyone and [Van Slyke] said nothing," Guillen chuckled. "This guy doesn't know exactly what happened in my dugout. He wasn't here to hear. He just made comments and he thinks that way. I run the club the way I want to." Guillen added that he respects Van Slyke as a former player but suggested he worry about his own team. "That's why he's coaching first base and I'm managing in the big leagues," Guillen said. "I'm going to manage in the big leagues longer than he's going to coach first base."

"We are exploring any and every way to improve the club,'' Williams said. "That's part of the drill. We are involved in a lot of rumors out there because we like to have conversations. We ask about impact players. Our name gets lumped in a lot of things.''

"We have a farm system that is developing a lot of players, and ultimately some will be seen here in Chicago and some will be used to satisfy our needs in an effort to make ourselves a championship club at the moment," Williams said. "While I am concerned about my three-year (planning) board and 2009, you can win a 2006 championship this year, so we'll have to see what we can do this year to be the best we can possibly be."
