The White Sox traded away one of my favorite players, Carlos Lee, up north to the Milwaukee Brewers for Scott Podsednik, Luis Vizcaino, and a player to be named later. It had to be done and I think it has the potential to be a pivotal move. The Sox will save roughly $8 million next year will trading Lee and can use that to either sign an All-star starting pitcher or make a deal for another position player. As GM Kenny Williams said, they are done dealing for middle-of-the-road guys. If they are going to make another deal, it will be a big one. But if they don't make another big deal, the Sox will look like they just wanted to save some cash and don't really want to improve the team. We'll have to wait and see.

The Red Sox may have done us a favor by getting Matt Clement. Although, it would have been nice to have another strong arm in the rotation, we could probably do better for the money. We'll see. I'm feeling pretty good about the changes to a solid second-place team. They couldn't seem to get over the hump.
