I say if Rich Arulia can stay healthy, let him play there while Dan Ortmeier is groomed to be the every day 1B. I am confident that ORT will find his way into filling that spot nicely. He's got a good baseball head on his shoulders, and has the right help (J.T. Snow) to help him.</p><p>Third Base is where I'm scared. I see what we've been subjected to with Pedro Feliz, and as much as I appreciate a guy giving us a little pop in the 7 spot, and a cannon for an arm, I hate the fact that he still hits .250-ish in his best years. Heck, he's been one of the best players on the team for a couple years, but it's time to move forward, and he wants a 3 year contract... I don't think so. I got all hyped up on Miguel Cabrera and then realized that Tampa Bay would be looking for one of either Cain or Lincecum as bait and I quickly let that bandwagon pass right on by. I flirted around with the Mike Lowell thought but that wouldn't happen because Boston wouldn't let him go. The Yankees re-signed A-Rod after some harsh words between the two, because, hey, they're the only ones who could afford a $275,000,000 (275 Million) - 10 Year contract for the slugger.</p><p>We still need a 3rd Baseman...</p><p>I heard rumorings of Joe Crede being expendable from the Chicago White Sox...<br /> and how Ron Schueler was the Sox's GM during Crede's first few minor league seasons...<br /> and how Arron Rowand played with Crede on the Sox's World Series team...<br /> and how they are rumored to be best of friends...</p><p>ChiSox have Josh Fields, their new shiny playtoy-third baseman and now Crede is a 3rd guest at a dinner for 2.</p><p>Anyone else thinking this???<br /></p>
