White Sox OF
Jordan Danks made a pretty diving catch on
Rajai Davis' hard liner leading off the fifth inning Wednesday at the Athletics, giving manager Ozzie Guillen plenty to think about when it comes to where to send the club's top-five prospect. He might be headed to Triple-A Charlotte, but his defense already is considered good enough to be at the major-league level. He went 1 for 2 with a walk Wednesday and scored a run. Danks is the brother of Sox starting pitcher
John Danks. "Jordan has really really impressed us a lot. He's pretty special," Guillen said. "He's got a chance to be in the big leagues and play. This kid has good at-bats, good base-running. Maybe the best outfielder we have in our minor-league system."

Rangers LHP
C.J. Wilson, getting a chance to move from the bullpen to the starting rotation, allowed a leadoff single to
Ichiro Suzuki and a leadoff walk to
Josh Wilson in the third inning Wednesday against the Mariners. Both scored. Wilson struck out two, walked one and yielded one hit in his three innings. "I ended up throwing my full allotment of pitches, which is good," Wilson said. "The thing they have been stressing with me a lot is minimizing big innings and just going out there and challenging guys to hit the ball and put it in play."

Pablo Sandoval now has bragging rights over
Carlos Zambrano, the pitcher he grew up idolizing back home in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. Still, the Giants third baseman isn't ready to boast just yet. "I'm not going to tell him anything," Sandoval said Wednesday after his grand slam off Zambrano led San Francisco to a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. "I don't want to remember that. That's spring training." Sandoval said if he homers off Zambrano during the season, "I'm going to call him and say, 'I got you!"' He said Zambrano was talking trash when the two recently had dinner together, but there wasn't much Sandoval could say back. In their only matchup last season, Sandoval went hitless in four at-bats. "It's different in the season," Sandoval said. "He's one of the best pitchers in the National League." With three All-Star Game appearances, Zambrano used to be just that, but he won only nine games last season. So he worked out hard over the winter and arrived to camp in top shape. He said he wasn't the least bit discouraged after giving up five third-inning runs on three soft singles, a hit batter and Sandoval's homer. "They got lucky with bloopers, and their big man ... obviously, he's a good hitter. I have to give him credit," Zambrano said. "This is spring training. Just get my work in and build my arm. My fastball is running good and all my pitches are good."
