I think everybody is going a little overboard on how bad the White Sox really are. I have a couple of suggestions for some easy fixes:
Sign Fukudome. Fills the leadoff and LF spot.
Trade Crede for a 7th inning man. Put Fields at 3B.
Trade Uribe for a bag of balls. Cut payroll.
Contreras is our #3. If he comes back and performs, Awesome. If not, he have to put him out there just to see if we can trade him without picking up too much of his salary.
Let Danks, Floyd, Gio and everybody else battle for the #4, #5 slots. I liked Danks last year. Hopefully another year of seasoning will be just what he needs. We're not talking about the Brian Anderson experiment here. Danks actually showed promise.
Put Richar at 2B.
Put Owens at CF.
1. Fukudome
2. Cabrera
3. Thome
4. Konerko
5. Dye
6. Fields
7. AJ
8. Richar
9. Owens
I think that's a great looking line-up.
I'm not saying we're amazing, but I'm predicting Division Champs.
