Now, I like a steady veteran as much as the next person -- provided the cagey vet can hit or pitch or play great "D" --but this just looks to further the whole idea that when the Chisox won the World Series, Ken Williams caught lightning in a bottle. Add Crede and Uribe to what is already an aged lineup, and you have the makings of an AARP all-star team. Pity poor Brian Anderson, Jerry Owens and Co...they're going to shine elsewhere someday, and their careers won't be as long as they should have been.

I think Fields is much better Crede and GM K. Williams made the decision to keep him and showcase him for a trade. Too bad this really hurts the team. Also, if Swisher is the centerfielder, they are screwed. He's a corner man.

Is this the first time that "Juan Uribe" and "best choice" have been used in the same paragraph without a very clear "not the" coming in between?

It's the best choice, certainly--for Cubs fans and Ozzie haters.

Hard to trade guys when they're sitting on the bench
