White Sox reworking infield

White Sox general manager Ken Williams is declining to reveal his wish list for next week's general managers meetings. He believes his objectives became too public last year and prevented him from completing deals. But after a series of moves Thursday, it's apparent the White Sox will be a retooled team next season. It looks as if the Sox will have a new left side of the infield, with Alexei Ramirez moving from second base to shortstop to take Orlando Cabrera's spot and Josh Fields taking over for Joe Crede at third base -- for now. Ramirez's move opens a spot at second, where recently signed Jayson Nix will compete with left-handed-hitting Chris Getz unless the Sox make another move. The Sox apparently have ended their association with Joe Crede, 30, whose back troubles eventually overshadowed his usually dependable defense and clutch hitting.

MF'er spends more time wailing and whining about third strike calls then anything else.

I love random, baseless statements!

Hey TRUTH
Crede does not SUCK at all. Before his back problems he was an extrememly reliable 3rd baseman who hit for power and was good in the clubhouse. His bad back contributed to defensive problems in 2007 & 2008. Was top 2 or 3 3rd b in the AL. That equals DOES NOT SUCK. Get your facts straight.

Crede doesn't suck...he is just no longer reliable. He's just like Chavez in Oakland...good bat and solid defense when healthy. They just can't stay healthy.

Agreed, as long as he's reasonable in his expectations he'll get picked up. Hell I'd take him on the Phillies and platoon him with Feliz if he could be picked up on the cheap -- which I think WILL be the case.

WHAT are his STATS NOW PINHEAD??? HUH????? I don't give a flying **** what his stats USED to be. That's like saying Joe THiesman was a great QB before LT turned him into his personal wishbone. ITS NOT **** NOW!!!!!!!!!!

You also just proved my point. Two seasons of being subpar? That's a trend. He DOES IN FACT SUCK!

For the record I am a Cub fan and don't like Kenny Williams. That said, he is good at picking up a good player here and there, I just don't know if he will be able to make the mass changes that he will have to make to fill all the holes he will face.

I don't like country music either, but what does that have to do with the thread topic?

Ok, just for clarity...Crede sucks. I'd rather have Marge Schott manning 3rd base. So please stifle yourself before we taunt you some more.
