Jim Thome Returning To White Sox?

"The White Sox were one of several teams putting a claim in for Thome, reports Daryl Van Schouwen of the Sun Times. The White Sox could be trying to block a claim by the Indians or seeking another lefty bat in place of the unproductive Adam Dunn (ESPN)."



Wow, how far has Adam Dunn fallen that a 40 year old Jim Thome is a better option. Guillen always said he regretted letting Thome go, and why wouldn't he? His piece of shit DH (Dunn) is hitting .167 with 11 HRs and 40 RBIs. Thome has better stats (.253 12 HRs 40 RBI) and he has had 162 less at bats.



The White Sox aren't the only teams that are interested in Thome. The Red Sox, Rangers, Angels, Tigers, Indians and Yankees are alll rumored to be interested. I would love for the Sox to be able to make a deal for them, but they are so far down the waiver list I doubt they will even get a chance.

Delmon Young Traded To Tigers

The Twins were upset with their present team so they decided to trade for the future by dealing a 25 year old outfielder that is a year removed from a 21 home run season. They traded him away for 2 prospects, one prospects is Cole Nelson, a 6-7 lefthander who attended Edina High School and was pitching for Class A Lakeland of the Florida State League. The other is a player to be named later who is not expected to be a top prospect.



I guess this is an upgrade for the Tigers since Magglio Ordonez is on his deathbed and Delmon could inject some life into the line up. Delmon and his brother Dmitri Young now both played on the Tigers. (trust me, click on the picture, I guarantee you will laugh.



Also, I guess this must mean that the Twins really lost faith in the outfielder, figuring they invested so much in him (gave up Matt Garza in the deal with the Rays). I'm not a big fan of trading away young players, but whatever, it's the Twins.
