June 30, 200817 yr I was thinking that the White Sox should not move Alexei to SS in 2009 and allow him to continue to master the 2B position. The Sox can sign a SS in the FA market. What do you guys think? Alexei's video: http://www.4shared.com/file/53314487/4dd0e...rez_080629.html

If OC hits the market and Getz or Richar are ready to step in, then Ramirez should go to SS. If the Sox can keep or replace Cabrera with a quality SS, Alexi should stay at 2B.

June 30, 200817 yr I would totally be down with re-signing Cabrera, letting him play SS for a few years, and keeping Alexei at 2nd.
June 30, 200817 yr What about Andy Gonzalez at ss? jk how about gordon beckham at ss or will he think he will be ready?
June 30, 200817 yr I would be happy to give OC a 3 year deal worth a substantial amount of money. You leave Alexi at 2B and if Beckham develops as advertised you can consider moving OC in the final year of his contract.

Though things have been better as of late, I'm not sure OC wants to play through the cold Aprils.
June 30, 200817 yr at OC's age and production level, it wouldnt be long term demands or crazy money. He's been so solid that i hate to close the door on that possibility. i have seen only a little of Alexei at ss, but the little i saw involved a wild throw. he just seems so good at 2b that i hate to take a chance. My end goal for this year is to see more of Alexei at ss in blowouts (us winning)... and also to have an idea of where Richar's at (which i know is going to be tougher) if Crede and Cabrera both leave, we need to put that savings to some serious, serious use.

June 30, 200817 yr Depends mostly on Richar, imo. Assuming Ramirez keeps hitting like he has and the coaches believe he can handle ss, the best situation involves a league-average hitting Richar at 2b, 2 extra draft picks, and $10 mil to play with. That would be one damn nice situation.
June 30, 200817 yr Richar is still kind of a wild card. If all else fails and he's still productive with no spot, we trade him for a position of need. BTW, he appears to have won the battle he was having against the suck early on, he hit .297 in June with a decent .791 OPS.
