    The Chicago White Sox picked up the 2012 option on manager Ozzie Guillen, general manager Ken Williams said Friday.

    Williams and Guillen struggled through a difficult 2010 season off the field, and there was some doubt about Guillen's future with the team.

    But as the White Sox fan convention opened Friday, Williams put to rest -- at least for the moment -- the possibility Guillen is entering a lame duck season.

    "It is my hope that we can get refocused on some of the positive energy we've had in the past and we can extend the relationship into the end of his career and the end of mine," Williams said.

    "I've never doubted the man's managerial ability and the ability to pull people together. Listen, we can all get off track a little bit and we got off track a little bit last year. All I want us to do is to get back on track and focus on the baseball team and the fans. They're hand in hand. Everything else, I want out of the equation."
