Joe Crede Situation

Joe Crede was recently cleared for all baseball activities. This is great for the White Sox, but possible bad for fans of Crede's. I am both (of course) so it puts people in a tough situation. One outcome of this is Crede comes back to third base on the south side and Josh Fields is converted to left field. Another outcome is Crede and/or Fields will be traded this off-season. I do hope that Crede will come back at full force and become the defensive stopper and offensive threat we have all come to love. What seems to be more likely is that because he is coming off serious back surgery he may be a shadow of his old self. Also with superagent Scott Boras representing him it will be difficult for the Sox to resign him after 2008. Although Fields showed promise this season, his stint in left at the end of the season was a little more shaky. If the White Sox are to add a high profile center fielder such as Torii Hunter or Andruw Jones then they may be able to settle with Fields in left. Whatever the outcome this will certainly be a crazy offseason.
