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.

whos dumb enough to trade for a late 40's former allstar/ace?....oh thats right i see the yankees scouts licking there lips already..

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.

what team doesnt think they can compete? does the newark star-ledger have a beat reporter on the white sox every day? give me a break.

Just for that I hope the White Sox win the Cental Division !!!

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)

Hey, where is TigrFan4Life? 0-6 will shut any idiot up, I guess.

April 7, 2008  07:20 PM ET

tigers fans have been real quiet about winning the division all the sudden

April 7, 2008  08:04 PM ET

let's not get big heads and sound stupid like tigers fans, however

April 7, 2008  08:18 PM ET

not me chisox, its still way to early to get goofy, only 7 games in to season

April 7, 2008  08:53 PM ET

WHITE SOX WILL WIN AL CENTRAL. AND WORLD SERIES. MARK MY WORDS... WHEN BOSTON WINS IT. THE WHITE SOX GO RIGHT AFTER. SAME THING IN 1917. EXCEPT THE WHITE SOX WON BEFORE THE 1918 RED SOX.
2004 RED SOX AND 2005 WHITE SOX... 2007 RED SOX... 2008 WHITE SOX... COUNT ON IT

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.

April 7, 2008  09:10 PM ET

his age isnt a problem , his problem is between his ears, hes a bit of a headcase, lets things effect him

April 7, 2008  10:03 PM ET

haha I was just joking, referring to the way Tigers fans jeer on this site, not us humble sox fans

April 7, 2008  10:30 PM ET

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

Except maybe the Giants.

April 8, 2008  05:32 PM ET

where do these articles come from?

April 8, 2008  10:56 PM ET

out of someone's arse

April 9, 2008  11:34 AM ET

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.
