I can't tell you how horrified I am to see one in four posters endorsing starting one of the worst hitting regulars in all of baseball to a position where offensive production is more important than his previous position.

Personally I would rather see Ramirez get some minor league time seeing some junk-balling minor leaguers to work on his off speed hitting and his defense. Richar is obviously out of the equation right now, and Ozuna is best in a reserve role. By default that leaves Uribe.

Per whitesox.com, Uribe is officially the starting 2B for 2008.

 

Ozzie did make some caveats, and it sounds like if Uribe goes into a deep funk, they'll be quick to play a lot more Alexei or Pablo.
