Trader Kenny

So 9 days until Christmas and Kenny Williams is working the phones hard to try to put that 5th starting pitcher under Sox fans tree. Two big rumors are Randy Johnson and Matt Clement. Arizona is asking for every decent low paid player that the Sox have, and have pretty much been laughed off by the Sox and the Yankees now. Matt Clement seems much more plausible both for his asking price of 9-10 million dollars a year, and his connections to Chicago. Either move would pretty much end the Sox aquisitions for this off season.

All in all if one of these two guys is on the southside next year, this was a great year. The Sox are being reformed into a team that more closely aligns with their coaching staffs philosophy of how to play ball. I also think Sox fans will appreciate the style of games Ozzie and his staff want to play.

Lets hope 2005 is the year we get over the top, and these are the moves that do it!
