Ozzie Guillen is definitely trying the positive thinking approach to winning ballgames:

Getting off to a good start may be even more important considering it's Guillen's rookie season at the helm.

"It's a period for me to learn to show myself and my team," Guillen said. "I want to show them what kind of team we're going to have."

Not only does Guillen want to instill a winning attitude in the Sox, he also wants that attitude to spread all the way to Chicago.

"It's special for the fans to start to believe what kind of team we have," he said. "This year we came here to win as many games as we can and get the people excited back in Chicago."

Winning in Arizona is important to Guillen for this reason. It that way he seems to be taking a page out of Tony Pena's book. Pena and the Royals had a great record in the Cactus league last year (best in the majors), and turned that into a strong start and a winning season. However, I do worry about Guillen's baseball strategy.

Nonetheless, Guillen has shown glimpses of how he plans to manage. He's going to put runners in motion and try to make something happen at every opportunity.

"I'm excited. I'm already seeing hit-and-runs and bunts," Wunsch said. "That stuff pumps me up because that's what makes baseball exciting."

Exciting yes, but will one-run strategies win games?
