Look at this awesome crate of baseballs I got for Javier Vasquez!
Some people have a reputation for being good dealers, and other do not. Omay Minaya? Not particularly good at dealing. That guy under the bridge who walks up to the driver's side window? Not a good dealer (try the guy at the Jackson stop who pretends to be blind). For Kenny Williams, though, he has somehow earned a reputation as a guy who can make things happen.
Best of all, Kenny has said that he's "done" for this offseason, and people are just saying "Oh, that Kenny, he's got a move up his sleeve. No, boys and girls, he really IS done. Right now, all I see is 5 outfielders competing for three spots. No matter how this plays out, we're still not really in better shape.
Let's take a look:
C: AJ
1B: Konerko
DH: Andruw Jones
2B: Beckham
SS: Ramirez
3B: Teahen
RF: Quentin
CF: Rios
LF: Juan Pierre
B: Kotsay
B: Vizquel
Really? Our outfield of Quentin, Pods, and Dye has changed considerably - Pods has been replaced with Black Pods (don't believe me? Look at the numbers. They might as well have the same name), Quentin is replaced by Quentin, and so the real difference is Rios over Dye. When he's on the ball, sure, Rios is the better play. Another slump year, though, and this one stings.
The real kicker, though, is Jones as DH. I hear Carl Everett is available.

Where do you think Tyler Flowers fits in there? Or do they leave him in Charlotte for another year? I think if Kenny gets a phone call with the right deal for PK, let him go and let Flowers figure it out at 1st.
I wish we would give Flowers the shot. The guy has immense talent, but our current roster doesn't let him play every day, which is what he needs.
I expect the Sox to go sign a stopgap backup catcher and leave Flowers in AAA
