I will add more to this when I get home, as I am just signing off of the DGS School library. The time is 12:06
Revamp of the Chicago White Sox team, 2004
The 2003 season for the White Sox was tough. They battled back from a dismal start in Kansas City, (which was a surprise that Kansas City was so good) when Mark Buehrle, Bartolo Colon, Jon Garland, and Esteban Loaiza got the job done. The team does need a number five starter who on the 2003 roster, went at least 3-7 with a 6.11 era. Rein forcements for the rotation could well be Andy Pettite, Brian Anderson, Kirk Rueter, Livan Hernandez, Derek Lowe or even Sidney Ponson. The White Sox also have wholes within the 1b-ss infield, as well as catcher and outfield. They need to retain a healthy bullpen as well.
At first base, Paul Konerko had a down year for someone who is owed at least 9 million dollars next year. With Kenny Williams rolling the dice, PK could even be gone by December, at the latest, January. He says some substancial changes may occur in the September 29, 2003 article for the tribune. Possible replacements if we get a pitcher, or upgrades would be Brad Fulmer, Scott Spezio or even David Ortiz. The Sox could pick up good pitching for him in my opinion.
Now the middle infield needs to be upgraded subnificantly. Latest news is that the Sox may procede to pick up Miguel Tejada or even Kazuo Matsui. However, I’d like to see the White Sox make a run at Luis Castillo for second base.
