Daily Rundown

According to the Chris De Luca, Julio Lugo is a more likely shortstop acquisition for next year than Miguel Tejada. Lugo will be a free agent, and he can hit second, which would allow Tadahito Iguchi to hit lower in the order. Last offseason, Iguchi wanted to hit lower so he could hit with more power.

Free agent relief pitcher Jamie Walker could be signed to solidify the shaky bullpen. Walker was very impressive this year with a 2.20 ERA in 45 innings pitched. He struck out 36 while walking 8. He has not posted an ERA above 4.00 since 1998. He would be a very good acquisition.

De Luca also claims that AJ Pierzynski has not been getting along with Don Cooper and Jon Garland. If true, this could explain the White Sox poor pitching this year. However, De Luca offers no proof to back up his claim.

Juan Pierre is said to be better liked by Ozzie Guillen than Kenny Williams. This is interesting considering that Williams seems to like Brian Anderson better than Guillen does. It will be revealing to see who wins this battle. My money is on Williams.
