By scotgreg The Los Angeles Angels' sparkplug can play third base, second base and the outfield, he's batting .298 this season and he ranks first in the American League in runs (114) and walks (101). Yeah, go get him Kenny Williams. But here's the problem with Figgins and the White Sox.

By Fornelli(noreply@blogger.com) He's going to find out who quits and who tries.Kenny talked to the media for the last time this season before the White Sox went out and got swept by the beloved Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night, and in typical Kenny fashion, he sent some warning shots to his players through the media.It seem...

By scotgreg White Sox GM Kenny Williams met with the media for almost 30 minutes before Wednesday night's game vs. the Minnesota Twins. When asked about Bobby Jenks' future, KW said the closer is “still under contract.” He also said he's happy with Jenks' disappointing season.

By Fornelli(noreply@blogger.com) As a whole, the baseball season in Chicago has been a disappointment. The Cubs were expected to contend for a World Series title only to be thrown off track by injuries and Milton Bradley, while on the other side of town the White Sox have failed to exceed expectations. As is usually the case wh...

By scotgreg MINNEAPOLIS _ Has GM Kenny Williams seen enough bad baseball from the White Sox? According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Sox distributed a memo “to a number of teams” Monday in an attempt to trade veteran players like Jim Thome, Jermaine Dye and Scott Linebrink.

By Ricky O'Donnell Scott Podsednik need not worry....yet. This season, Rios will probably serve as a jack of all trades, giving Scotty Pods, JD, and Quentin a breather when necessary. But it's Podsednik - not Jermaine Dye, as some, perhaps even in the man himself, suspects - that's going to be the odd man out next ye...

By Kevin Chroust Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Sox reportedly make an offer to Abreu The White Sox have reportedly made outfielder Bobby Abreu a one-year offer worth $8 million. If this turns out to be true, you've got to think Jermaine Dye's days as a White Sox are numbered. That or Jim Thome is on his way out of town, but I haven't heard of any such market for Thome, who immediately has no value for half of Major League Baseball because he's a DH and only a DH. So let's assume Abreu takes the ego-hit and accepts a one-year deal for half of what he made last year. I think he's a downgrade from Dye and has certainly fallen off defensively, but I think there's some appeal here for Sox general manager Kenny Williams if you trade Dye to the right team. I haven't read this anywhere, b...   [read the full post]

By Paul Johnson Monday, February 2, 2009 Crazy Ideas For The Sox By PAUL JOHNSON Chicago Sports Slant With pitchers and catchers getting ready to report to Arizona in the next couple of weeks, there are still plenty of questions surrounding the White Sox roster. Two potential platoons (center field and second base), an unproven third baseman (or two), Bartolo Colon in the rotation and two players coming off of surprising career years make this a very interesting Spring Training on the South Side. GM Kenny Williams has always made risky and surprising moves, some great, some not-so-great. But he's never hesitant to pull the trigger on a deal if he feels that his team can improve. I know the company line is the team is ready to go to battle with this roster, and i...   [read the full post]

In particular, trading Nick Swisher and Javier Vasquez are looking like deals that not only shipped off a pair of underachieving players, but also cleared the books enoug...   [read the full post]
