Ken Williams not ready to tear down White Sox - yet
By Mark Gonzales
Despite losing seven of their past nine games, general manager Ken Williams remains patient with his White Sox team that is currently 5 1/2 games out of first place and five games under .500.
"Hard decisions always have to be made," said Williams, responding to an inquiry on whether he would break up the team if the losing trend continued. "But very clearly, we are in a transitional phase, and if this team shows me at some point they don't pick it up at some point, yeah, I'm going to have do some things that maybe aren't going to be the most popular but in the best interests of the club.
"But those things are a little ways away and we still got time to right the ship and start to play a little better. But if we don't, it is what it is. You got to produce in this game and we got expectations of winning."

Williams said he spoke with disgruntled third baseman Josh Fields and stressed that the Sox are in a winning mode and that Fields' .237 batting average and high strikeout total caused him to promote Gordon Beckham.
