I really don't understand the need to get Griffy at this point and where do you play him ? He's a bit old and slow to play center and Mac, I know Kenny has been wooing him for 3 or 4 years but there are many other holes to fill other than bringing in Griffy and the only player I want out of Chicago is Kornerko at this point and Griffy does not fill that void.

Bullpen and or a starter would of made more sense.

They can still address the pitching staff, especially if they just bought Griffey without giving up a meaningful prospect, which is probably the case.

That post is the very definition of a tease. Stay tuned at ESPN1000 until 2PM to discover your answer.

Speaking for all White Sox fans, I sincerely hope this is the first move of another trade or two to set up our run to the World Series.

If not, it doesn't make much sense - other than we have a DH for next year, as Thome has an option year. Then again, Thome is hitting at a pretty good clip the last several weeks.

I'll wait until today's over to determine whether or not Kenny Williams DAY of trades has been positive or negative.

Unless Konerko's going on the D.L. this was a stupid trade. Completely stupid.

Now what are they going to do, try to leverage one guy against the other (Griffey / Thome) to see who takes the buyout and then resigns with them for a couple more years.

I just don't understand what Kenny Williams is doing.

For the rest of this year, the trade doesn't bother me....They basically added another HR hitter to the lineup in place of a guy (Konerko) who wasn't producing.

If Griffey looks/plays like he's done, he won't be back.

Their already crappy defense might be worse though. I really have no idea what kind of CF Jr. can play, but it can't be great if we wasn't even playing there.

where's 35th street slick's post on the fact that griffey got those RBI's against the royals means they're winning the world series, baby?

Slick's too busy being a prick.

yeah but his prick should be at full peak right now...
