What I don't understand is why the White Sox are going back to Thornton as a closer next year. Sale is moving to the starting rotation where he belongs and that just leaves Thornton at the back end. Maybe, hopefully for them, he just had an off year.
I'd love Brandon Phillips at 2B, but not over the cost of a shortstop. If we could pry him for a non starting player that'd be great. Potential to be a 30-30 guy every year.
