Ch ch cha Changes...for White Sox

I can  hear the phone call now. Jerry Reinsdorf calling Ken Williams the GM of the Chicago White Sox.
Reinsdorf will have the WTF sound in his voice as he asked Kenny to explain the first two months of the 2011 Palehose season.  Kenny will try and say be patient its early.. Adam Dunn really isn't this bad. John Danks has had some bad luck. Rios really won't hit .200 all year.  He will say okay Matt Thornton is not a closer but we have Santos. As Williams hems and haws Jerry is looking over his desk calender with a big red circle over the trading deadline date in July. Then Jerry hears Williams try to put blame on the baserunning or the pitchers not holding on the runners to give AJ a chance to throw them out. Then Jerry flips the calender to June and circles another date. June 20. June 20 is the date Reinsdorf has in mind. If he doesn't see a turn around the axe will fall. Be it Ozzie, Kenny or the coaching staff things must change. You can't have a payroll and a motto of All In and expect the man who is signing the million dollar checks to sit back and still be patient. Reinsdorf patience has lasted long enough. Truth be told if Reinsdorf was 20 years younger he would not have gone all in this season. He would have rebuilt. He would have told Kenny to let the old guys like Konerko, Dunn, AJ and Pierre play somewhere else in 2011. He would of told Kenny he wants to rebuild.
Well June 20 is when they might start that rebuilding.

Who can they trade? Lets start with who has any value. Maybe Buehrle, Danks, Thornton, Rameriez. Beckham trade value as dropped since the middle of last season. The only thing they can do now is hope that the team that they have can turn it around. But with such a low turnout of fans this season the Sox are losing millions of dollars. Who knows maybe June 20 is the day that Kenny gets his pink slip.  Don't forget the 3 million that went to Manny last September.
