This post is just as bad as the people who completely flamed the author, so I’m confused my the positive rating.

I didn’t say they NEED Teahen, I said they need him more than acquiring additional out-machines. On a team with terrible players all over the field, a replacement level player, or even slightly below replacement, who can play so many positions is actually a pretty valuable piece. It’s also more valuable than the $4-5 million that is going to subsidize mistakes like Guillen.

Jose Lopez *is* a team maker, though? They’re virtually the same player, save Lopez has higher contact rates, Nix has better ISP. It makes no sense for the White Sox to give up an asset in their starting rotation, subsequently filling that spot with a less talented pitcher, all for a second basemen they essentially have on their roster.

It’s not like Nix is a team maker, though, Lopez is a strong defender, and the ace of the White Sox pitching staff is a big pitch-to-contact pitcher. I still don’t think it’d be a good trade for the White Sox, but it’s very easy to think that’s what Dave was thinking.

It was probably a done deal . . . until Williams read Cameron’s post and phoned the Royals about needing cash considerations to save face. Don’t underestimate the influence of Dave Cameron. He got us Ryan Langerhans.

Ozzie went into last ST just assuming that Viciedo would be his 3B. He was doing quite a bit of badmouthing Fields even then and very reluctantly started him there because Viciedo was so damn fat. If I recall, the WS offense started out really, really bad this season and Ozzie sort-of made Fields the fall guy for it, when he was never supposed to be more than just a guy anyway.

FIelds is probably a platoon 1B/DH only, but your take may provide some explanation for why a guy goes from average offensive player in his first season to compete garbage in his second.
