Chisoxfn Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 White Sox Now: Active, But Questions Remain By Mario Scalise SoxNet One month into the off-season, the White Sox have been active, but still have a ways to go over the the next 2/3 of it. Through it, we'll be recapping each month and projecting the opening day roster based off the team's present state...Read the Full Recap Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 How happy is everyone with the 1st month of the off-season? I personally feel that October was a real good month for the Sox. They strengthened the bench, added roster flexibility (Teahan) and have positioned themselves to spend the next couple months trying to fill 2 to 3 key holes (OF/DH/Pen).

chetkincaid Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The waiting is killing me - just like last year and the year before and the year before etc..... I hate winter and I'm sick of hearing about the Bears. I really hope that KW makes a splash, but I don't think he will. Well if he does, at least I'll be suprised. I'm thinking that the most we get is a Marlon Byrd type player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 One of the biggest questions wasn't on the list - who will be the DH? Also, I doubt that Hudson is the long reliever with Carrasco in the middle. I think you flip those two roles. Great article though, nice recap.

League Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Very nice article, it hits everything on the head. I had no idea that Vizquel was going to get extra AB's in April. One little problem I had with it though, the Sox have said Mark Buehrle is going to be the 4th starter next year, and Jake Peavy is really the Ace of the staff.

With Vlad, Thome, Johnson and Matsui all out there and all, most likely, limited to only AL teams, I think there's a cheap DH to be had if KW waits it out.

And yeah, I'm happy with it too. I think Andruw and Omar are going to help this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. No need to rush to sign a DH. I think KW is currently figuring out how he will fill up that leadoff spot... this will most likely be his 'big splash' during the winter meetings.

And Kenny has said almost exactly that about waiting for a DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
