The Chicago White Sox Thread

With Moises Alou in left, Lasting Milledge becomes expendable, and Mets GM Omar Minaya already has talked with the White Sox about acquiring either Javier Vazquez or Freddy Garcia.
-- Newsday
 
The Dodgers' signing of Juan Pierre could further accelerate the destination of leadoff hitter Dave Roberts, who was seeking a deal longer than the two years the White Sox wanted to give. This also raises the possibility the Sox could bring back Scott Podsednik if they can't trade for a leadoff hitter.
-- Chicago Tribune


Looks like Scottie is coming back.
 
When the Angels shelled out a reported $50 million in a five-year deal for free-agent Gary Matthews Jr., it all but punched Chone Figgins' ticket out of town. There have been persistent rumors of a possible Figgins trade to the White Sox for third baseman Joe Crede, who would give the Angels the power guy they're looking for to protect Vladimir Guerrero in the lineup. -- Orange County Register

Id do that. We need a 3B and we need someone who can produce runs. How is Crede defensively?

Crede is very good, defensively, but you can't have him:tongue: Especially for Figgins.:shakeno:

I'm not to sure what Williams is planning on doing with the Sox this year. I know that he wants to bring in a new SS.
 
Trading Crede for Figgins doesn't help Chicago. Although Crede is going to be an UFA next year and the organization does not trust his back.

Gold glove caliber.
 
The Angels and White Sox have discussed a trade that would send infielder-outfielder Chone Figgins and pitcher Ervin Santana to Chicago for third baseman Joe Crede and pitcher Freddy Garcia, baseball sources said Monday. The sources said no trade was imminent and other players probably would be included in any deal should negotiations progress.
-- Los Angeles Times


For White Sox fans having visions of Joe Crede at third base forever and for those dreaming of Barry Bonds as the new left fielder, the reality is neither will happen. The fact that Sox nemesis Scott Boras is Crede's agent could make Crede one of the Sox players available for trade.
-- Chicago Tribune
 
The agent for speedy Chone Figgins believes the Angels will trade his client. But other factors suggest that any White Sox-Angels trade would consist of more players than just pitcher Ervin Santana and Figgins to the Sox for third baseman Joe Crede and pitcher Freddy Garcia.

Crede is 100 times better than Figgins.

Not to sure on this Santana kid though.
 
I dont really want to do the trade the more I think about it. Santana is young with a ton of potential, while Garcia is 30 and coming off a pretty bad season.

I'm more concerned with the Figgins, Crede swap, granted Crede's back is a concern, but he is still better than Figgins.

Santana has more potential than Garcia. Figgins isn't close to being the type of player Crede is. Crede deserved gold glove consideration although that seems to go to anybody who has won it previously and he hit 30 homeruns and drove in close to 100 runs. His RBI total would have been higher had he not hit behind Konerko/Thome/Dye all season. Their are not many 3B better than Crede in MLB and Figgins to me is another "guy." He doesn't help the White Sox although Kenny Williams is a horrible GM so I wouldn't doubt he makes another horrible move.
