Closer...Now and Tomorrow.

     Kenny Williams is a good G.M. I'll reserve the adjective great until the White Sox win another World Series. But he definitely keeps Chicago's attention. Signing Adam Dunn will give the Sox left-handed power for the next 4 years. Dunn will be a star on the Southside, blasting mammoth homeruns to everyone's delight. Now KW's working on re-signing Paul Konerko to make this team a contender next year. But I do not believe that is the only major move left to be made.
      The White Sox have had discussions with both St. Louis and Philadelphia about the OF. With the Phillies being interested in Carlos Quentin (following the departure of Jayson Werth) and Sox being interested in Colby Rasmus. Quentin can be had for the right price, but the move the Sox need to pounce on is Colby Rasmus.
     The kid is a stud. He's a power hitting left-hander who can play great defense in all outfield positions. He's a 23 year old whose numbers keep climbing. Rasmus had a falling out with Tony La Russa last season, the Cardnials just signed Lance Berkman and have two up and coming outfielders in Jon Jay and Allen Craig. It's a perfect storm of opportunity to land a young, talented position player. He won't be cheap, but packaging prospects in a 3 way trade with Philadelphia could possibly fit. Having an outfield with Alex Rios and Colby Rasmus patrolling the Southside gets the White Sox closer to a World Series now and tomorrow.
