Rosenthal: Williams up to something?

Ken Rosenthal thinks Kenny Williams is up to something. He sees the Swisher deal as a prelude to some big move or multiple moves. Rosenthal mentions the possibility of Javy Vasquez, Jermaine Dye, and Paul Konerko getting dealt.

Mentioned in the article as possible future Sox are Chone Figgins, Juan Pierre, and Orlando Hudson.

Much has been made about the clash between Swisher and the Sox coaches over instruction. Swisher also was apparently not much of a team-guy when slumping, and clashed with Manager Ozzie Gullien.

Swisher to the Yankees however, will fit his patient hitting approach. The Yankees are all about seeing pitches.

I don’t buy for a second that the 2009 White Sox will go young at three positions — second base, third and center field.

Trading Swisher saves money. So does the exchange of Juan Uribe, a free agent, for Wilson Betemit. So will the trades of right-hander Javier Vazquez and perhaps first baseman Paul Konerko or even right fielder Jermaine Dye.

In the meantime, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Williams, the White Sox’s general manager, pursue one or more upgrades over Josh Fields at third, Chris Getz and Jayson Nix at second and Brian Anderson and Jerry Owens in center.
