2006 Chicago White Sox Preview

2005 in brief: After 88 years waiting for a World Series title, the Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillén and 2 years in the 2005 season on a mission. After a superb rookie season leader born Venezuela Guillen led his troops to a division lead of 99-63 welcome. The White Sox simply dominated the season, losing only 1 game out of a total of 13 - the first by radicals of the title, Boston Red Sox, and in the past, roll Angels 4 games to 1. Chicago went to the house of the Fall Classic against NL Champion Astros with a 4-Sweep Thursday grabbing their first World Series title since 1917. The White Sox field a TV larger offensive in 2005 with the 1st Baseman Paul Konerko (.283 40 100) and outfield Jermaine Dye (.274 31 86), the prosecution. Outfield Carl Everett (.251 23 87), 3rd Baseman Joe Crede (.252 22 62) and fish just acquired AJ Pierzynski (.257 18 56) also on the rest of the line in 2005. Off season Moves: The White Sox have very little off-season for his team chemistry. The largest movement of re-signing the First Baseman Paul Konerko for a period of five years for $ 60 million (after $ 65 million Orioles) and the trade of Jim Thome rackets (7 to 59 hours reading in 2005 ), the launch of the campaign of 2006 in Chicago DH. The White Sox also strengthen the already strong rotation with a trade of Javier Vazquez (11-15 4.42) - but also a man of many advantages Rob Mackowiak (.292 9 58) from the pirates. 2006 Analysis: Guillen and the company seems to have a good approach for success, and it is difficult to find many errors in its low season. The only real weakness seems to be Centerfield, because at least for now it seems that Brian Anderson (.176 in 34 AB in 2005) is the shooting of Aaron Rowand (.270 13 69), trading in Philly thomas treatment. Expect Thome (.274 42 105 in a season in 2004) to flourish DH, saves wear on the 1st Thursday, every day. It 'a perfect player for the role and the White Sox DH has been to trade for him. Thome should some offensive side Konerko, Pierzynski, Dye and Crede. Chicago's pitching in 2006 should be stronger (if possible) with Javier Vazquez in the rotation. Vazquez could be a useful complement to the most powerful. As for the acquisition of Contreras and Garcia in 2004, the White Sox are hoping Vazquez numbers are better and then last season.
