Guillen says Sox will get help if necessary

If the White Sox remain in the hunt in the AL Central, manager Ozzie Guillen said general manager Kenny Williams won't be deterred by salary from making a trade.

"If we get there and we need a piece to get this thing better, I think Kenny will do it," Guillen said Saturday.

The Sox skipper also told reporters before the game that he believes this year's team is better than the 2008 division champions.

"Because we can win a little different ways," Guillen said.

Delay of game: Saturday's game started nearly 20 minutes later than scheduled thanks to a pregame ceremony featuring the induction of former Twins pitcher Brad Radke and former scouting director, the late George Brophy, into the team's Hall of Fame.

Radke played his entire career with the Twins (1995-2006) and was the opening-day starter nine times.

He also was one tough cookie, according to Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.

"There's a lot of good, tough stories in baseball, guys playing hurt and all this stuff, but pitching with a broken shoulder probably tops the list," Gardenhire said.

Radke and Brophy are the 20th and 21st members of the Twins Hall of Fame.
