White Sox eyeing third place?

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.

Detroit 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.

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

Good 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.

Surely, this time of the season, no team is eyeing third place.

Except maybe the Giants.

Uh, the season is less than two weeks old. Send this story to the future (maybe early September) and lets see where they are at.
