What are they thinking?

So another week has past and the White Sox have finally made an off season move! One that I would personally rank as absolutely horrible! They traded Jon Garland, one of the White Sox’s most consistent starting pitcher for a shortstop. The shortstop that they received is Orlando Cabrera from the Anaheim Angels. Yes he is one of the best defensive shortstops in the game, but the guy is 33 years old and the White Sox really need to improve their bullpen. The White Sox did receive cash in the trade, but like I just said, they really need pitching. I honestly don’t know what they were thinking! They said away one of their best in a position that needs some help all around, for a position that they already have. Within the last two weeks of this trade, the White Sox signed their shortstop Juan Uribe to a one year deal. Now my question is, why would they sign a guy for one year and then go out and trade one of our best players (Jon Garland) for a guy who they don’t have a spot for and who is getting a little old. Now granted, Cabrera will start over Uribe or should at least, but what do you do with Uribe? He really isn’t that good, so you wouldn’t get much of a trade out of him. What I think the White Sox should do is trade one of their two shortstops. I would personally keep Cabrera because he is an awesome shortstop and is much better than Uribe. Like I stated before, the only bad thing about trading Uribe is that you won’t get much for him. It would have been smart for the White Sox to just have released Juan Uribe rather than take on his salary and just hope that someone is willing to trade for him. So my next question is, if the White Sox can not trade Uribe what he is he going to do? He is not a player who I would think that you would want to put him in to pinch hit because he is not the best hitter to say the least. I mean they could use him once every so often to give Orlando Cabrera a break, but I honestly think that it would be just a waste of a salary. I hope that Kenny Williams knows what he is doing and is hopefully getting ready to make a blockbuster trade in the up and coming off-season months. Hopefully it can be for a great centerfielder, since the Torii Hunter deal fell through, when Hunter unexpectedly signed with the Anaheim Angels.
