What Are the White Sox Up To? (UPDATED! THRICE!)
While Twins fans gnash garments and rend teeth, the White Sox are up to something, if you can decipher all the Tweets and turns in the MLB Trade Rumors link. If I'm reading it correctly, they end up with Edwin Jackson, Adam Dunn, Keith Atherton, Frank Thomas from 1993, Gilbert Arenas and the dogs that can bark Jingle Bells. Kenny Williams, you've done it again! (UPDATE: they've traded Daniel Hudson and David Bromberg Holmberg to the Dbacks for Jackson. Everyone on the internet swears that they'll flip Jackson to the Nationals for Adam Dunn. Adam Dunn says the internet is full of s---.)

Question
How do the White Sox even have a farm system anymore? They seem to trade half of it every year.
Nobody's really sure
Most of it’s long gone, but they still have a high ceiling pig and a cow prospect that they really like.
All kidding aside though, I love seeing them mortgage their future.

I just tweeted that K. Williams is now in talks with General Mills to aquire
Lance Armstrong for one of the Spice Girls. (Posch has been mentioned, but I have also heard that Scarey may be involved. Sporty has a the White Sox on her no trade list)
I always loved that one.
I doubt they traded David Bromberg since he is a Twins prospect :)

LOL
Eventually he will run out of prospects to trade and he’ll have to start trading other teams prospects.

So THAT'S how they manage to do this every year!
Trade OTHER team’s prospects, it makes so much sense!

Edwin Jackson Stats against White Sox past 3 years
1-4, 6.6 ERA and 10 HR’s given up in 46 IP. I get the feeling HAWK will be saying “put it on the board” a lot for the visiting team. Otherwise, just swearing.

to go along with a
1-3, 6.29 ERA against the Twins. Even KC has hit him at a 3-3 record and a 5.03 ERA.
I know these are pretty basic numbers that probably don’t tell the whole story, but they are not pretty.

Freddy Garcia to the bullpen?

Are we supposed to counter this mess?
Kenny is seriously a madman.
Or an evil genius. Only time will tell.
Kidding.

Team strength is starting pitching, lacks hitting
Solution – acquire a starting pitcher.
I think its pretty clear KW is trying to acquire a hitter
I also think its pretty clear starting pitching has you in 2nd place.
Obviously something went down with Nats and Rizzo.
