Ty Wiggington, whom they got in the Kris Benson trade at last season's trade deadline. He has been a massive bust for them so far, hence Mackowiak getting a lot of playing time at 3rd base. Wiggington was the starter going into the season.
I'd rather have Mackowiak. He can play 3B, 2B, RF, LF, and CF. Polanco can play 2B, 3B, and SS but we already have Willie to backup 2B and Ozuna to backup SS. Also, we need a lefty 3rd baseman, not a righty. We are struggling to hit righties.
Adam Dunn, but that would never happen. He doesn't fit Ozzie's belief in good defense at every position. He would suck in RF anyways. I think the best we can hope for is making a trade for a guy like Mackowiak who can play everywhere.
Ozzie needs to stack the lineup with lefties. Byrd gets rocked by them. I'm hoping we see this lineup...
LF Podsednik
2B Willie
DH Everett
1B Konerko
C Pierzynski
RF Dye
CF Rowand
3B Crede
SS Uribe
I really wish we had Gload for this game. Also, Pods and Willie should be able to steal easily on Byrd. He has an extremely slow delivery. I also have a feeling that Timo may be in the lineup tomorrow.
Well, I admit that I was one of them. He was great against righties last season but he sucked against lefties. This year he is getting both righties and lefties out.
Well, this trade would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER happen so what's the point? I would also trade Joe Crede for Scott Rolen but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.
