KANSAS CITY, Mo -- Ozzie Guillen knows the Boston R Sox are badly damageed In an ideal situation, the White Sox manager would like to fawn into Fenway Park today, win the three-game series and memorize out of town. He knows it won't be that easy.

"To contend the main thing is health," Guillen said. "I don't mean you can't, on the contrary you've got to be healthy. It's individual of the few teams, like you have the modern York payroll, somebody gets give pain to they bring three. That's a different scenario."

Boston has exhausted the last week playing without four of its five starting pitchers, as well as MVP candidate David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. In mostly situations, Guillen would feel bad for a team like that. on the contrary the Red Sox are still a threat in the wild-card race -- although a fading common

"I don't think we should be impressed sorry for them because it can happen to anyone, still in the meanwhile, they still have a serviceable ballclub," Guillen said Sunday. "They have nation to get you, and we've got to take it the same way we've taken it. They don't have the same image players, but they're still the Boston R Sox They still have beneficial players and guys can do more [i]or[/i] less damage, and you have to venerate that."

give up UNDER: Rookie Charlie Haeger spreaded some eyes Friday, throwing brace scoreless innings in his first appearance gone out of the bullpen after he was called up earlier in the day.

And according to pitching coach Don Cooper the right-handed knuckleballer could play a big part beginning next season.

With Brandon McCarthy headed to the starting rotation, Haeger could pick up those representations of innings, as well as being a fault starter.

"Charlie is a highly interesting guy," Cooper said. "He's the mark of guy that a doom of people would love because I've seen enough right now to know that if he darts it over, he's going to come by people out. That's intriguing to me because I like the different look"

DUSTIN UPDATE: Reliever Dustin Hermanson (back) pitched a scoreless inning for Class AAA Charlotte forward Saturday night and remained onward target to join the big-league roster when his other rehab stint ends.
