A few thoughts
-I agree that the White Sox would be using all of their chips, and have nothing left to get hitting, but the fact is, outside of Poreda, they don't have anything to give up. Yes, Flowers might be nice, but Richard is nothing. This is a no brainer for Williams if Beckham isn't involved.
-The Sox hitting almost has to get better. Ramirez can't be this bad, and someone will eventually step up at 2b/CF
-I'd rather Peavy go to the Sox than the Brewers or Cards
-Why would Peavy OK this deal? He doesn't want to go to the AL. He could wait until the trading deadline to see if the Yankees or Red Sox get involved. There is almost no reason for him to go to the Sox, unless he thinks adding him to the mix makes them serious contenders for the World Series.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
