Many good points in this article, and for all of those people who keep saying that the White Sox are playing as a small market team just be quiet, there payroll will still be around a 100 mill which should be going farther than it is now but thx to the cubs and giants it seems much smaller than it is

When these teams wearing the clown suits (ahem Cubs) realize they spent all that money for nothing they will all want to do what Williams did. But we got a years jump on them. I just hope for Kenny's sake and more importantly for the franchises' sake that at least one of those guys becomes a big success and 1 other becomes a moderate success or we're looking at becoming the KC Royals.

I like the article. Its not extreme in one way or another. Just a view point of what KW is doing.

 

I dont get why everyone is freaking out. We traded three major league players. One we knew was gonna get traded. Another was a bench player that was rarely used. Mccarthy was the one no one thought, but thats one guy thats kinda of played in the majors, kinda well and kinda not.

 

Now if we had traded Thome, Konerko, Crede, Dye, The Count and Jenks. than i would have gotten nervous.

Very well written article.

Interesting comparrison between what kenny is doing and what Cashman is doing. Nice article.

One thing to consider about 100M payroll, in time, that WILL BE small market payroll, unless something drastically changes

Do you seriously think that the payroll will not gradually grow with inflation as ticket prices increase and radio, tv, merch, and internet revenues go up? If the payroll stayed at $100 million for 20 years, yeah that'd be pretty darn obnoxious.
