White Sox Notes: Pierzynski, Manny, Vizquel

Though they fell short of the playoffs, the White Sox won 88 games this year.  Notes from yesterday:

• GM Kenny Williams told Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune he seeks "balance from the left side" of the lineup.  Williams said A.J. Pierzynski could provide that balance, or he could find someone on the trade or free agent market.  Luke Scott, Adam Dunn, Prince Fielder, Carl Crawford, Hideki Matsui, Adam LaRoche, and Bobby Abreu are a few of the available left-handed bats.
• Pierzynski told CSN Chicago that he wants to return, but he has to do what's best for him and his family and isn't going to come crawling back.
• Williams told MLB.com's Scott Merkin Manny Ramirez helped others in the lineup and brought life to the team, even if his .319 slugging percentage fell short of expectations.
• Manager Ozzie Guillen told Merkin he'd love to have Omar Vizquel back, suggesting the infielder could play another two years.  The interest is known to be mutual.
