In his attempt to field a younger and quicker team for the future, White Sox general manager Ken Williams and high-level staff members currently are evaluating talent at the Arizona Fall League. Williams' standard method is acquiring at least two prospects for any front-line major-league player, such as John Danks and Nick Masset in the Brandon McCarthy trade, and Gavin Floyd and Gio Gonzalez for Freddy Garcia two years ago. That procedure apparently remains in effect, as Williams is scrutinizing prospects for deals that include right fielder Jermaine Dye, according to two National League scouts.

trade Thome or Swisher before Dye.

Now is the time to trade Dye. He's coming off a good year and Kenny should be able to get a decent package for him. Nobody would want Thome, and after the year Swisher had, we would be hard pressed to get anyone who is decent for him. We need speed and getting rid of Dye will elimenate one more slow player from the team.

While we are at it, get rid of Vasquez and let Broadway, Pordea and Richards decide in spring train who are going to be the 4th and 5th starters.

They can get more for Dye than they could for Thome and/or Swisher.
