I think a lot like White Sox’ GM Kenny Williams. I also love the line from the AC/DC song “Have a Drink On Me” when singer Brian Johnson howls “Don’t worry about tomorrow, take it today!” With that in mind I would start pushing chips to the middle of the table. The White Sox need a big bat so with that in mind I would trade 3B/1B Dayan Viciedo, righty starting pitcher Carlos Torres and outfielder Jose Martinez to the Brewers for Corey Hart. Hart would then become the full time RF for the White Sox opening up DH for Carlos Quentin. I wouldn’t stop there though as I would call up the Orioles and offer them outfielders Jordan Danks and John Shelby & righty starting pitcher Jeff Marquez to them for righty starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie. He has been very effective this season despite his numbers and getting out of Baltimore would help his confidence. I would then set my sites on lefty reliever Scott Downs of the Blue Jays. Starting pitcher Jhonny Nunez and OF/1B Christian Marrero would likely be enough to seal the deal. If the White Sox could add Corey Hart, Jeremy Guthrie and Scott Downs to the team they would be incredibly hard to beat.

The White Sox are 43-38 on the season which has them in 3rd place in the A.L. Central, 1 game behind the Tigers. The White Sox have a glaring hole at DH and GM Kenny Williams will leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of one. He has already made offers to the Nationals for Adam Dunn but they don’t seem too interested in moving him. I think the White Sox are going to aim big as they always do. I think the will be watching the Brewers really closely as Prince Fielder would be a very nice fit for the Pale Hose. I see Jose Bautista, Luke Scott, Jorge Cantu, Corey Hart, Lance Berkman and Adam LaRoche being on Williams’ short list. The expanded list would likely include guys like Lyle Overbay, Ty Wigginton, Cody Ross, Dan Uggla and Derek Lee. Make no mistake the White Sox will have another big bat by July 31st even if Kenny Williams has to overpay to get one.

G.M. Kenny Williams is not known for his patience and I think it’s starting to grow thin. With that in mind I think he’s getting ready to make some big moves in a attempt to revive the offense. A.J. Pierzynski is on the Rangers’ wish list and the White Sox think that Tyler Flowers is ready to handle the everyday job behind the plate. I have a feeling that Williams is going to hold out for a decent prospect like outfielder Engel Beltre and I think they will make that deal. Bobby Jenks and J.J. Putz are being heavily scouted by the Phillies right now. I think the White Sox are more motivated to trade Jenks. I think they would want a return like Ben Francisco, Antonio Bastardo and Scott Mathieson for him and I have a feeling that Ruben Amaro would pull the trigger on that kind of move as they are going to have a hard time making the playoffs without a closer they can count on. Then if I were in Kenny Williams shoes I would call up the Orioles about Ty Wigginton offering up 3B Brent Morel, SP Carlos Torres and Jayson Nix. If all three of these moves were made it would make the White Sox better positioned for the future and probably the present as Wigginton would be a huge upgrade on Gordon Beckham right now.
