He does do a nice interview. Sounds like a conversation with an educated man. Kenny is an educated man but his interviews sounded like he was talking down to us. Kenny did field competitive teams but with an unsustainable business model. It's my answer to why we are where we are.
He's got a job ahead of him, all right. The 'pen is overrated and there's a bunch of holes to fill on the field. The one bright spot is the stating pitching, but I'll bet you a lemon cookie some of it gets traded to fill the aforementioned holes. Most of you tell me the minors are barren of position players and I'll take your word for it.

I like Hawkins, I think he was the right pick, but I just really liked this years draft. A lot of it stems from the fact I have confidence in Danish, and I have no confidence in Barnum. I also said we focused on NOT JUST SIGNABILITY, meaning yes, we had some picks where we focused on money, but we spent our money really, really well this year.

Speaking about White Sox offense, Kenny Williams says they're deciding "who's going to deserve to be asked back." Williams on the current Sox offense: "This is not White Sox baseball in any way, shape or form." Scott Merkin Kenny Williams held court today for about 40 minutes. A full report on his comments: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...k_cws&c_id=cws Schouwen KW on next year's lineup: 'We’re looking at who deserves to be asked back. Because this is not White Sox baseball in no way, shape or form.' Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 3m Bad 2013 won't deter Kenny Williams http://es.pn/1d52ofk |

Unfortunately, some of these guys who shouldn't be invited back have a standing invitation by contract....Keppinger e.g.
I'd still like to see them move Dunn. Let De Aza (who is goofy at times, I know) play some DH and LF with Viciedo. |

If they're willing to eat money, Keppinger has to be DFA'd. I never use the word "unacceptable," but his play really is. He's one of the worst baseball players I've ever seen. He does nothing well. Nothing.

Get an 3rd baseman and other OF and this team looks good for next
Year. Easier said than done. 3rd baseman Free agent pool looks bleak. Of- Garcia Of - De Aza of - GET ONE 3rd - Get one SS - Alexei until one develops from minors 2b - Beckham 1b/DH platoon between Dunn and viciedo c - platoon/open competition between Josh P and Tyler F Starters very good. Reed works as closer. Maybe get another reliever. Kepper and Gillaspie are fine as bench players |

Glad somebody said this. The guy hasn't had a day off in forever. He's probably mentally shot. And yet, despite a rise in errors, he's still making plays not many other SS can, and hitting at a good clip. This is absolutely not a guy you just get rid of. Man, Sox fans this year are nuts.

Kenny basically was speaking to the meatballs of the fan base that need this stuff blown up their rear end. What the Sox need more than anything right now is leadership and energy. This team is one of the most boring, most dull ever. For anyone who played even a varsity high school sport, you know how important it is to NOT BE FLAT. Bad Habits are contagious. There is not one guy on this team offensively who can carry the load. There is not one guy (outside maybe Dunn) who can change an entire game on one swing of the bat or one great trip on the basepaths. I think when Rios commented on the energy Texas has, that was telling. If you had to look at guys Kenny may have been talking too, Tank is probably one. You can't play him at first base because you can't handle his offensive production there. 1st is a position where you need to think offense first. His .750 OPS isn't going to hack it. |
