All signs point to the White Sox as focusing on the 2012 season as a rebuilding year. Chicago hired Robin Ventura as their manager. He has no previous experience and general manager Kenny Williams has talked about having patience with Ventura. "My guess would be it probably confirms a little bit that young guys who have been in there will stay in there," said White Sox captain Paul Konerko. "If you look at the end of last season, we had a lot of young guys on the field in that last month. This move probably confirms those guys stay on the field. "Whether it means older guys we have as pitchers and hitting, does it mean they leave? I don't know about that. They look at it Robin might help out [Gordon] Beckham or [Brett] Morel, that maybe he can get them over the hump to turn into solid everyday players."
