Swing and a Miss

Cubs continue to play serious ball against the Brewers. They have returned to that relentless offense and the starters continue to put up quality starts. Let's hope it is the start of a long roll.

I'll get into that later. I just felt like revisiting a moment in the spring when White Sox GM Kenny W. said that Carlos Quentin was who they were targeting and getting him made it a successful off season.

That's a paraphrase, but you get the point. Needless to say, I laughed. I had nothing positive to say about the Quentin love.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

EDIT: So as soon as I wrote this, the Sox somehow swing a deal for Griffey Jr. I have no idea what the plan is here. Junior isn't a star player any longer. He is a lefty, but he hasn't been in CF in a while and no longer has the legs he once did and has no significant experience in the post season (much less as a winner). With Quentin (see above) and Dye at the corner outfield spots and Thome (they are statistically not much different) at DH, speculation is rampant on what the Sox plan to do with Junior. One may presume he didn't agree to the trade thinking he would be riding the pine. How does this solve the Konerko issue? I don't know. Perhaps Kenny will prove me wrong again.
