In 2005, the Chicago White Sox brought a World Series home for the first time since 1917. The team was then changed in 2006 as the Sox brought in Javy Vazquez and Jim Thome. Kenny Williams, who is a horrible GM, is apparently still living in those times.
Andruw Jones, Omar Vizquel, Alex Rios and Juan Pierre have been acquired by the Pale Hose to play in 2010. The issue is that it’s five years too late.
These are the WAR for those four players in 2006 compared to their 2009 WAR.
- Jones 2006: 6.1 Jones 2009: 0.8
- Vizquel 2006: 3.4 Vizquel 2009: 1.2
- Rios 2006: 3.3 Rios 2009: -0.1
- Pierre 2006: 2.9 Pierre 2009: 1.8
These players are not very good. Neither is Kenny Williams, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
