1.) The Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik trade did not help the White Sox. 2.) The White Sox are no more real than the A's or the Orioles right now. They look good, but the Tigers will come back, the Indians will be good. 13-14 games is not a good sample size. Agreed. Once the Tigers get going, they will fly the White Sox in no time. They still have less starting pitching then the Cubs, and they still emply Juan Uribe, Joe Crede, and AJ Alphabet in the lineup. The White Sox are still a 75-80 win team. Joe Crede is good.... Pierzynski is pretty good too. EDIT: well, sort of.
