As for 3rd, I'm not sold on Fields at all. His defense is brutal and he strikes out a TON. They might actually be able to bring Crede back at relatively cheap since I don't think many teams are going to be throwing tons of $ at him with those back issues. I say bring back Crede and Uribe and trade Fields..
What do you think iwasbittin?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Crede fan, but I don't think I want him back. Unless they get him for cheap, but Boras is his agent and I'm sure he can find a big deal for him somewhere. Definitely keep Uribe, he has blown me away with his fielding and his hitting is good enough to keep him as a utility guy. I'm not sure what to think with Fields. Yes, his fielding is sub par. But then again, doesn't Crede lead the league in errors at 3rd? And Fields did hit 23 homers in 100 games last year, so who knows what his production could be with a full year starting. I expect Kenny to make a big run at Orlando Hudson this offseason, obviously move Alexi to SS, and then decide between Fields, Uribe or Crede at 3rd. I've also heard he's really high on Chone Figgins, so maybe he'll cut another deal with the Angels this offseason. We'll have to wait and see. I'd prefer not to trade Fields yet, cuz Crede sucked it up for a few seasons before he took off too.
Can't believe we're talking about next year right now, but damn do I love baseball. C'mon M's!
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.
Fields at 3rd if they can't sign Crede cheap. Dirt cheap. With his injuries and subpar performance from June til now, he should get a base of maybe $2-3 mil with incentives to get him to maybe $7 or 8 mil for the year. If he isn't willing to accept that, let him walk. A deal like that for Joe would be very low risk high reward for the Sox.
Keep Uribe around as a backup, or 2nd base. OC isn't coming back, so Alexi is the shortstop. The Sox could have a very very different lineup next year. If it were me, I'd go like this on Opening Day;
Alexi, SS
AJ, C
Quentin, LF
Dye, RF
Konerko, DH
Fields, 3B
Swisher, 1B
Anderson, CF
Uribe, 2B
Who knows what Kenny will do though. He may find some way to bring a Brian Roberts type guy over.
But in reality, I'll worry about this in February. I'm looking foward to watching the White Sox win another 11 games in October.
I know, I don't know if I am mentally prepared for this. I remember how stressed out I was in 05 when we almost blew that 15 game lead. This back and forth stuff with the Twins is going to drive me crazy.....
Don't have to face Beckett this weekend, which he is good cuz, even though he's been slumping a little, he owned us last time he faced us. Dice-K will be tough tonight, hopefully Javy continues his with his great month. Bats need to back him up. Looking ahead, both weekend games are very winnable, going against David Pauley and Wakefield. 2 outta 3 would be very nice.

Got him from the D-Backs for a single A prospect. He was actually projected very highly within their organization, for a time he was their #1 prospect over Justin Upton, Conor Jackson, Stephen Drew, Mark Reynolds, etc. Injuries derailed him the last few years, and the Sox jumped in and got an absolute steal. He has been playing outta his mind this year.
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.
I had a bad feeling about tonight's game going in. Dice-K shut em down couple a weeks ago, did it again tonight. Sticking with what I posted earlier, 2 outta 3 would be VERY nice.

not a bad deal. I had Conor Jackson and dropped him to pick up Aubrey Huff and also picked up Reynolds on waivers. I'm 1st in my leahue with Jeter as ss and an outfield that consists of Magglio, Ludwick, Ichiro, Nady and Quentin!
killin em this yr!
well I rooted for the white sox tonite and it didnt help...come on guys win tomorrow for us please?!?!? woulda been nice to be 5 back of the other Sox

We got an ass whoopin tonight.. time for serious business tomorrow.. If we expect to go anywhere in the playoffs, we need to beat teams like Boston and the Rays..
Damn Jenks, almost gave me a heart attack. This was a must win game imo, and they got it done. Way to go Gavin and Thome now tied for 14th on the all-time homer list. On to Cleveland.

ESPN 1000's baseball beat reporter Bruce Levine is reporting that White Sox slugger Carlos Quentin has a fracture in his right wrist and will undergo surgery Monday morning. No official word has come from the Sox as of yet, as the team is reviewing the results of an MRI Quentin took this morning. The Sox are not ruling out a possible return for the playoffs, though the outlook for Quentin playing again this season are slim to none at this point.

CHICAGO -- American League home run leader Carlos Quentin has a broken wrist, and the Chicago White Sox left fielder will have surgery Monday that could sideline him for the rest of the season.
Quentin was removed from the lineup before Tuesday's game because of what the White Sox described then as a sore right forearm, and he hasn't played since. The team said Friday that he was hurt during last Monday's game at Cleveland.
A screw will be inserted into the wrist, and he will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks. Quentin is batting .288 with 36 homers and 100 RBIs.
Quentin missed two games after he was hit on a forearm by Boston's Josh Beckett on Aug. 11. When Quentin returned Aug. 14 and was plunked by Kansas City's Kyle Davies, Quentin became the first player hit by a pitch in six straight games since at least 1920.
Quentin has been hit by pitches 20 times in all this year, the most in the American League.
Chicago said Quentin will be operated on by hand and wrist specialists, Dr. Mark Cohen and Dr. John Fernandez along with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Charles Bush-Joseph of Midwest Orthopedics at Rush University.

Absolutely devastating. And depressing. I really have nothing else to say.
Damn. That sucks. The rest of the guys are going to have to step it up a bit. There's plenty of other slugging talent left, but there's no more room left for slumps.
Twins have been bad lately, especially the backend of thier bullpen. Sox take 2 of 3 from the Halos, and I'll take that 8 days a week. Need 5 more wins on this homestand.
I would like to personally thank Carlos Quentin for slipping thru my fantasy draft and allowing me to pick him up in what was a great move towards my march to 1st place
Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

The Sox magic number is now at 18. They have 10 home games and 10 away games left.
The Twins have 9 home games and 10 away games left.
The Sox currently have a 2.5 game lead.
I think it is fair to assume the Twins will go 4-6 on the road and 6-3 at home. Under that scenario the Sox could go 9-11 the rest of the way and still win the division. I like our chances.

They might be. Joe Nathan is certainly doing his part!
