    Help Rebuilding the Whitesox

    Ahhh, the Whitesox.

    My favorite team, but a team that, quite honestly, sucks.

    Any tips on rebuilding the Sox? We're basically devoid of any decent young prospects besides Sale.

    I know I'll want to trade Konerko at the deaadline, and maybe try to drop salary. Any idea on who I can get, or what to do? I'm stumped.

    Depending on the standings, i think it would be possible to get an A prospect if you trade Konerko to a contender. If not, i think you could easily get 2 B's

      I'd love to ship him to the Yanks, for Banuelos, but I know that'd never happen.

      I'm in the first year. Anyone who stands out, in your mind, as a good target?

        Konerko, Dunn and Peavy are all tradeable to me in that situation. I'd be looking at 3-5 good prospects in that situation.

          Any idea who I could send them out to, though?

            I think if the Red Sox are in contention peavy might be a viable option to them, they got Middlebrook at 3rd, Bogaerts at Short and Lavarnaway behind the plate. couple B's also if I recall.

              I am running with the White Sox as well. Brewers could be a potential trade a option for Konerko if they are in it at the deadline and Gamel is sucking.

              For me I am probably going to keep Konerko, but I was looking in that direction. He is my best hitter. I am keeping Peavy because I like him a lot and Dunn is just untradeable. He blows! I traded Alex Rios to Seattle for Carlos Triunfel to battle Tyler Saladino for the SS spot or bench guy in the future.

              I think the White Sox are not too bad actually. Yeah, they only have 3 B's in the minors. CF Trayce Thompson and 2 SP'ers, Nestor Molina and Simon Castro, but they do have some young options already on the club in Beckham, Morel, Viciedo, Addison Reed & Sale. The starting rotation is not that old considering. Peavy is oldest at 30. Dylan Axelrod has been great for me so far. Tyler Flowers is my in between A.J. and a guy I hope to draft. Flowers is a B and only 26.

              The biggest thing is pen & bench help and getting a piece here and there to fill the holes while the young guys reach their potential.
