The Chicago White Sox GM Ken Williams had a busy off season but what their right. -- April Juan Pierre the Dodgers which all left field and more importantly the leadoff spot in their lineup. He then turn around and traded fielders Chris get in Josh Fields in the Kansas City Royals in exchange for third baseman Mark Teahen. Can play several positions for the Royals and the White Sox are hoping by putting about one position -- improve his optimum production. The most important aspect of the team in trade wouldn't allow them to move former first round pick Gordon Beckham. To his -- long term position of second base. Well elect and Ramirez at shortstop playing next and they now have to middle infielders capable of fifteen to twenty home runs. Carlos Quentin and Paul Konerko are rock solid in the noble White Sox lineup and it quit and have a bounce back season. Alex Rios will be the player watch the White Sox this year -- remember last year he was one of baseball's most shocking waiver claims in baseball history. When the White Sox inherit a contract that will pay him 59 point seven million. The 2010 the 2014. Rios hit just 190 ninth the Sox after they claimed on. They need him to live up to the contract. AJ present is solid behind the plate and rookie Tyler flowers and veteran Ramon Castro give them depth in case of injury. The rock and a couple of free agents including Andruw Jones and Omar Vizquel which should help improve the bench the team is designated hitter might have to be renamed -- no one's detonated. But it appears now that -- there's a trade or a free agent signing and they are looking for another left handed bat. It appears that mark cot -- Andruw Jones will get first crack at and it. What are built around the starting rotation and look for Jake -- to be comeback player of the year this year in the American League. They traded a lot of good young arms to get on last year with the Padres and they're expecting a Cy Young candidate I isn't it helped that he's got a shot. The -- location include mark early Gavin Floyd and John Danks and all -- Kapler double digit wins. Partygoers is expected to be a starter but I don't apprised that I'm done during the season Daniel hot and doesn't beat amount. He's got great make up literally no out pitch. The back into the bullpen is now the and -- most under rated in baseball closer Bobby Jenks and up team. That includes let him about Orton Scott Weinberg and newly acquired JJ put. They also adept with the electric arms like Tony Pena and Jhonny Nunez who will contribute. The AL central will be get three team race this year and the winner probably won't be to fight again this year until last week in September. My prediction is the White Sox will have a bridesmaid second place finish for Brock were not come on Jim Bowden and I'm gone.
