Jose Vidro. Definitely not a match there. I came up with these teams;

Tampa Bay

Pittsburgh

Houston (unlikely since they want Soriano)

St. Louis

 

Houston will not give up Chris Burke or Brandon Backe for Soriano. And Chris Burke is the next Craig Biggio. I saw him play in Round Rock and he is going to be a fabulous 2b. He doesn't have the power Biggio does, but, he does everything you want a leadoff to do.

 

Who does Pitt have to play 2b?

 

EDIT: Bobby Hill. yeah, they need an upgrade.

Willie Harris for that dude from Oak Lawn that killed the Cubs last year?

Steve Bartman?

Wow, sounds like the White Sox and Willie are done. Once you get on KW's s*** list you are pretty much done with the team... i.e. Wunsch

Rob Mackowiak, I wouldnt mind having him.

Rob Mackowiak. That wouldn't be a bad trade at all. He can play multiple positions -- 3B, 1B, RF, LF, and even some CF and 2B. The Pirates already have Ty Wiggington and Bobby Hill who can both play 2B and 3B. Plus, Mackowiak grew up a die-hard Sox fan. He would be a perfect fallback plan if Crede busts again. The only problem is that he is a lefty bat and we need a righty off the bench.

that's the guy!

That's true, Ozzie wants a right handed hitter off the bench.

 

Hey, I got an idea ....

 

 

While they're teaching Willie to play SS and 3B this spring, why not teach him to hit righthanded too?

that's the guy!

Excellent idea. Email it to Kenny.

 

Our infield would be set with Mackowiak:

 

1B Konerko / Gload

2B Iguchi / Mackowiak / Valdez

3B Crede / Mackowiak

SS Uribe / Valdez

Well if Mackowiak beat out Crede for the job at 3rd base, Crede could be our righty bat off the bench.

Eh ... true. We have more immediate needs. I just like any guy who can hit that way against the Cubs.

I like Machowiak, he's versatile and a good hard nosed player. Strikes out a little too much but he's valuable.

Here we go again....

 

I suppose being able to throw only 82 MPH had nothing to do with him being in AAA last season?

I can't believe people still miss Wunsch. He was a situational lefty that couldn't stay healthy. We don't even need him anymore with the current state of our bullpen.

KW stated he knew he needed to change the makeup even before Ozzie got on board, started to do that especially last summer with the pitching acquisitions.

 

 

I think this is important to note cause it seems Ozzie has been getting a lot of the credit for switching philosophies. Whether the switch works..is yet to be determined, but the reason Ozzie is even here using that philosphy is cause Kenny wanted to go that route.
