White Sox eyeing third place?
Posted: Monday April 07, 2008 07:39AM ET
Privately, the White Sox think they'll be better than others think but don't believe they can contend with Detroit and Cleveland in the AL Central. So the main reason they were hoping Jose Contreras would get off to a good start (he didn't) was because they thought it would help to trade him.

Report Offensive CommentDetroit is having all kinds of chemistry issues right now. Look at what the Twins did, all those years they weren't picked to win their division they won it. Chicago has enough talent to compete in the central.

Report Offensive CommentYankees had him and he crapped out in a WS game, he does not return to the Bronx, except in the visiting dugout.

Report Offensive CommentGood luck to Ken Williams in finding a way to unload Contreras. I'm sure some GM out there will be dumb enough to pull the trigger. (TRANSLATION: Omar Minaya, you'd better not even think of Contreras playing for the Mets or we will riot)

Does anybody really know how old he is? Im thinking Vegas should start taking bets and send somebody to Cuba to investigate the truth. My money is on 46.

Report Offensive CommentSurely, this time of the season, no team is eyeing third place.
Except maybe the Giants.
