GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Ozzie Guillen doesn't necessarily want to know the names of the other 103 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, along with Alex Rodriguez, during Major League Baseball's 2003 survey testing program.

Instead, the White Sox manager would like to learn from the past mistakes and make sure these same problems don't come up again. If that thought process leads to a more severe punishment for first-time offenders than the 50-game suspension under the current testing program, then Guillen is all for such a change.

"Fifty games? Put a year suspension," said Guillen, addressing the media shortly after White Sox pitchers and catchers reported to Camelback Ranch on Sunday and the team held its first workout. "Fifty games suspension, that's good, but we have to make people believe if you get caught doing something stupid or doing something you are not supposed to be doing, then we need to be more drastic.

"Baseball shouldn't worry about what happened from 2008 to the past. We can't do anything about what happened in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 or 1999. We apologize to the fans truly.

"Everybody involved in the game should feel guilty. I'm a baseball fan and a baseball man, and I feel guilty myself," Guillen said. "I care about baseball, and the thing I worry about is what happens in 2009 and the future."

Sunday's PED talk in the White Sox clubhouse stemmed from a question concerning the recent Rodriguez situation. Rodriguez, the Yankees' star third baseman, admitted to using a banned substance while with Texas from 2001 to 2003. That admission followed SI.com's report about Rodriguez's positive test during that time frame.

Guillen said he was "shocked" by the Rodriguez story, but gave him credit for having "the guts to admit it."

White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski seemed to have grown weary about addressing the entire topic.

"I'm just glad I didn't have anything to do with it," Pierzynski said. "It's just sad for baseball that it keeps getting brought up over and over again. I think every player wishes it would go away. The fans wish it would go away and even the media wishes it would go away. But as long as names leak out one at a time, it will stay there.

"We have a great testing program. I got tested today and this offseason. I've been tested a bunch. It's working. People who are doing things are getting caught and it's coming out, and that's good. For the people who didn't do stuff, it's good that it's back to an even playing field."

And that even playing field is what Guillen wants to see from the game moving forward, making the past violators a distant memory. If other names do come out from the 2003 testing that was intended to be confidential, Guillen stressed on Sunday a desire for those players to be honest about what transpired.

"When you do something you are not supposed to do and you are honest with people, it will move along quicker," Guillen said. "I don't believe players who say, 'I didn't know what I was doing.' You are not five years old."
