Hi. Just call me Mr. Pale Hose. I've been wondering when the White Sox would be able to assemble a full contingent of healthy ballplayers to take into battle. Now that Pablo Ozuna broke his leg rounding first base(????) the prospects of that happening this year appear slim. Every team needs one or two players like Pablo if they are going to successfull. There is no disputing the fact that if not for Pablo and Timo Perez the Sox would not have made the playoffs in 2005. Sometimes there is a tendency to think if a little bit of Ozuna is good then alot of Ozuna would be better. Wrong. Jorneyman utility players like Pablo Ozuna need to be kept on the bench until a situation calls for them. Overuse exposes the flaws that limit them to utilityman status. We saw a little too much of Pablo in '06 when Ozzie Guillen became convinced that he could be trusted to play left field in place of the injured Scott Podsednik. Fortunately, fans will usually forgive a player for the foul odor he emits today because we remember how sweet he smelled in the past. You will often hear about a player who hit .230 last year but hopes to regain the form that saw him hit .275 three years ago. Another example would be if an outfielder turns the wrong way on a fly ball and it falls in for a hit. He attempts to pick it up but kicks it. He finally retrieves the ball and heaves it towards the infield but it sails over the cut-off man's head. You turn to me and say"What the heck?" I reply "Yeah but remember that play he made against Cleveland in '05?" Pablo Ozuna's absence is going to be like an open wound that won't heal. Two things are working against Kenny Williams as he searches for a replacement. No team that has a player like that is going to want to trade him until after the All Star game if at all. The Sox have no one in their farm system that would be effective. The Sox have a reputation for developing pitchers and outfielders (curiously there are neither on the current team). They have an abbismal record for turning out infielders and catchers. I have a suggestion for Kenny if he is willing to think outside the box. Give Brian Anderson an infielders glove and start hitting him grounders. He already has some major league experience and in the event of a bench clearing brawl, we've seen what he can bring to the party. Whats that you say? He hasn't proved he can hit major league pitching, he seems to be somewhat of a head case, he's never played the infield before? Yeah but what about those two homers he hit against Seattle in '05? Until then, I am Mr. Pale Hose.
