Filed under: White Sox

CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago White Sox have picked up their 2012 option on manager Ozzie Guillen's contract.

The announcement was made Friday, the opening day of the team's winter convention.

Guillen, entering his eighth season as manager, agreed to a multiyear extension in September 2007 that ran through the upcoming season.

Known for his colorful language and wide-ranging opinions on just about every topic, the talkative Guillen has a 600-535 record. In his second year, he led the White Sox to a World Series title in 2005 -- their first since 1917. He also guided Chicago to a division championship in 2008.
