Offseason so far....

Here's a brief recap of what the White Sox have done this offseason, an offseason that I can't seem to figure out. Overall I would say that Williams has improved the defense and that's about it. He still needs to sign a leadoff hitter (Scott Podsednik is still available). However he did sign seasoned veterans Andruw Jones (which would have been great five or so years ago) and Omar Vizquel (which would have been great about ten years or so ago). I expect both players to have more of an impact off the field than on it. He also traded budding star Chris Getz and the underachieving Josh Fields for Mark Teahen, who I can only hope hits as well for the Sox as he did against them. He also resigned Freddy Garcia and Matt Thornton, while failing to resign the World Series MVP Jermaine Dye. Sadly, those are about the only three moves that I understand from this offseason. Let's just hope that Willam's moves work out, but I hope he can find a leadoff hitter.
