Adding Granderson, Abreu, and a catcher would go a long way toward improving the team.

The Future Is Now
In one of his books Bill Veeck said "that the future is now and five year plans usually lead to new five year plans". If the White Sox are going to sign Granderson, why not sign Robinson Cano. Jose Abreu and Brian McCann also. Adding these 4 players to the 2014 White Sox would put the team back in the Playoffs. According to the Sun Times article the White Sox have only $48 million committed to players for 2014. I've always been good at spending other peoples money so I'm all for signing these players.

I like Granderson, but it would have to be a hometown discount for me to feel good about it. He'll be 33 when the season starts and he's another high strikeout guy.

I realize that people are not talking about replacing Granderson for Dunn straight up.....but:
In 214 AB, Granderson had 49 hits and struck out 69 times this year. That's a 32% strikeout rate. 2012 was about the same 195Ks in 596 ABs. Our beloved Donkey struck out 189 times in 525 ABs with 115 hits this year for a 36% strikeout rate. Can we do no better from our veteran left handed bat than a 4% improvement in strikeouts and a 12% increase in BA?
