Hey, did you know Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams want to improve next year’s White Sox by addition of speed in tremendous amounts?

‘We need speed, but they have to have talent,” Guillen said over the weekend. ”I know I would like to see some more speed. But when you talk about speed, you can’t talk about nine rabbits. You can’t.”

And this is nice to hear, just as it was last year, and the year before, and the year before, and, well, pretty much every year since this duo was first united atop the mountain at 333 W. 35th. Can they build such a team? Probably. But will they? And if you answered yes, what made you say that?

Here’s a quick exercise in team history: think of every Sox player on every Sox team since 2004 and ask yourself how many of those players were truly of this speedy, talented rabbit mold? One? Two? Do Jerry Owens and Willie Harris even count as players?

Conversely, think of the players the Sox have now and have employed in those same years: could they really get any slower?
