Wow! White Sox are going for it all.

In a half a century of following the White Sox, this is the most stunning thing they have ever done.

It's amounts to a midseason declaration of War!

 

Some of the future just shipped out of here, for the present campaign. The 2003 season is now being treated like a do or die situation.

 

In 1959-1960 off season, Bill Veek, put the future aside for another trip to the World Series, and he failed

 

This is a midseason move with a sub .500 team, but it is in the same spirit of "the future is now". It's kind of like the 1997 White Flag Sale in reverse? **grin**

 

Carl Everett will be a terrible choice as a centerfielder, but his bat is certainly dangerous. He may also turn out to be a clubhouse cancer. (?)

 

Sandy Alomar is a outstanding fielder, but he as slipped a bit with his offense in recent times. He also could become a clubhouse cancer. (?)

 

The dice have been rolled and it should be interesting to see what happens. We now have more left handed balance in our lineup, and more pop & speed too.

 

Well, say what you want too, and think what you might, but things just got real interesting around here.

 

( There may be more trades very soon for some pitching.)

 

Go Chicago White Sox..................maybe it's finally " OUR TIME ! "

For it all . . .? Well at least the AL Central. We still have a ways to go before we are favorites to beat the Mariners or Yankmees

I don't think the White Sox would have depleted so much of their farm system just to win a division that they might have won anyway.

 

Everett and Alomar are defiantly ammunition for the play offs. I think more trades are in the works too. Maybe Ponson or Weaver. (?)

 

We may have enough starting pitching and hitting to be a very tough to beat in the post season.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens.
