The Chicago White Sox claimed that they would like to have a competitive team through the free agency for the 2008 season. Well lucky for them, this is a inexpensive decision due to their poor 2007 season.
According to ChicagoSports.com, two free agent center-fielders, Torii Hunter and Aaron Rowand, who are on the Sox list, were classified as Type A free agents this past week. This is good for the Sox because they are in need of a center-fielder. If the White Sox decide to sign either of these players, it will result in them only losing a second-round pick because they finished with one of the 15 worst seasons in 2007 (although we really don’t like to be reminded of it.) Whereas, if we finished with one of the top 15 records, we would have lost a first-round pick. And in case you were wondering, in the 2008 draft, the White Sox will have eight overall selection.
The Sox are still facing their dilemma with what they should do with Juan Uribe. They will need to decide by next Wednesday whether or not they are going to pick up Juan Uribe’s $5 million option.
