Ty Wigginton might be somebody the White Sox should target.

And someone the O’s would want to be trading.

I like the sound of Wigginton to the Sox

I hope they don’t unless they can prove they are World Series contender. Too many times Kenny has traded for these rent-a-players that get fans excited and nothing much happens but a near playoff miss(2003 when we traded ten prospects away for a bevy of veterans) and 2008 when we traded for griffey and got into the playoffs by the skin of our teeth only to lose quickly to the Rays. I could see us falling short behind the surging twins if we trade for wigginton or any other veteran for a quick fix this year and this year only. If sox make moves, they should look big picture unless this team miraculously turns it around and starts looking like a Series contender.

Surging Twins? They’re losing their games to the Orioles and they barely beat the Tigers. Don’t forget Mauer is injured! (What a surprise right?) The White Sox and Twins can fight for 2nd place. Even if the Twins do make the postseason, their rotation isn’t good enough to match up with Tampa Bay, New York, Boston, or whichever West team makes it.

How long before Kenny brings in Dye, Crede and Eric Byrnes to solve his problem?
Jose Canseco again?

I’d only consider Wigginton if the White Sox are in contention for the World Series. Too many times Kenny W has traded for guys at the deadline as rent a players(ken griffey jr, robbie alomar, sandy alomar to name a few) only to see them walk with nothing other than a first round playoff exit to show for it. Right now, Sox do not look like they could stand toe to toe with the Rays or yankees in a 5 game series. Wigginton would probaly be a rent-a-player since his contract is up after this year. I’d rather get a prospect for konerko that could be the first baseman of the future if they are not in contention for the series at the deadline. Not some measly AL Central division title, Kenny needs to evaluate can this team win the World Series by adding someone before dishing out prospects for a 2011 FA.

konerko-AJ-alexi-Carlos-buehrle-garcia- jenks could all be moved for either a top prospect per deal or a few mid level guys per deal and the team could still compete with all the guys that simply wont get trades like peavy-floyd-danks-thornton-putz-santos-beckham-teahan-nix-juan-rios-jones…still not a bad team plus bring up flowers, Jdanks would offer a spark

If the White Sox want Berkman say good bye to Bacon
