First the Sox traded Iguchi and now it's Rob Mackowiak to San Diego. The Sox didn't do anything major which I think is good. I think they can chalk up this year to experience and come back fighting next year. They certainly have the talent to compete for a playoff spot.

I wonder if they'll try to trade Joe Crede (assuming he's healthy next year) because Josh Fields looks like the real deal at 3rd base. Maybe to the Yankees if A-Rod is playing elsewhere.

I still wonder, why those two? Iguchi's been solid for them since he arrived, and Mackowiak is a great Mickey Hatcher type player off the bench. I couldn't figure it out why Pittsburgh ever traded him and now I find myself wondering why the ChiSox did the same.
