" I'm Bryan -- pleased to be joined by a sport that now senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal -- between now and -- matchup you can onion mobile spot this weekend. Atlanta for the Mets and the Braves these teams recently traded outfielder Jeff Francoeur went to new York -- exchange by church could be a factor in this game. Revenge shouldn't be a factor for either one of those players though in church's case it might be. Of course that manager Jerry Manuel was down on him from the start of spring training. We'll both these guys need to worry about is getting their seasons back on line back on track. Francoeur in particular has struggled mightily. He perhaps -- out of Atlanta this is very unusual situation. Which would be coming back to visit Atlanta his home town so as soon. Church is the better player right now certainly the better hitters but he -- about around there are questions about his make up. He needs to read is that question though with one team and become the kind of player that's the only people envision. They are real head to the windy -- need to take on the lights out in this series Chicago's next eighteen games against teams with a winning record. How important three game average for the certainly they would like to get off to a good start here with the Orioles. Are hardly a pushover. After this series the White Sox have a trip to Detroit and Minnesota to two biggest division rivals. And they come back home to face the Yankees and Angels two potential playoff teams. The difference now though in the White Sox is that they should be getting Carlos Quentin back from that bout he had with -- fresh ideas in his foot. If Clinton is right this is going to be a much better offensive team. -- go back to left field that it will get some time -- and the White Sox will be perhaps the kind of offensive club. Kind of offensive juggernaut that they envisioned at the start of the season. But clearly quite as healthy as going to dictate what they do next. When they go out try to get another hitter or whether they focus their efforts on trying to acquire a starting pitcher. Finally the Angels and a's in northern California despite everything -- a go to this year there killing contention for another analyst championship he -- make any moves before the deadline. There's no question trying to make moves as we speak. The Angels a few weeks back made inquiry on the Diamondbacks Dan Haren it would have been nice addition. And they also of course are interested in the Blue Jays right how to. But from what I am hearing they don't have enough to get -- Which might be surprising to some fans who know how deep the Angels are in middle infielders and catchers. The problem they face here is that their prospects are sort of the value right now. Some of these guys had greater appeal the team's few years back and teams like the Blue Jays are looking for only the best and beat prospects for Roy how to. So if the Angels are -- able to acquire starter what will they do probably focus on their bullpen which is something that -- anyway. Bullpen help with the demotion of our Redondo injury to Scott shields really be something that would benefit the Angels the second."
