Wanna see something like this again? Then screw chemistry and get better.

It's good to see that 20-year veteran Omar Vizquel isn't worried about stating the obvious when it comes to the White Sox needs this trading season:

"If it's not another pitcher, probably it's another hitter," Vizquel said. "This is a time where we really need to make a step toward getting better and to separate between the teams that are around, having a chance, and the teams that really need to go on to the playoffs.

"This is the last time to make a change, and I think that with another guy on the team we might secure the next step."

All true. The one objective here is to win a championship, and if Adam Dunn can be brought in with his .925 OPS, 23 home runs and yes, even his enormous strikeout numbers, you do it. If you care about the feelings of Mark Kotsay or whatever "chemistry" you think you have you are misguided. The simple fact of the matter is this: if you can add another good player, you do it.

David Haugh writes yesterday,  "...adding either player guarantees the Sox nothing but change. And change makes a first-place team as uncomfortable..."

While I understand his premise there, I don't really care. I don't care if it makes guys a little uncomfortable, it is all about making a team better, and better players will do that and good players will adapt.

Haugh continues, "It's all about winning the Central first, and tinkering with the roster would disrupt the flow of a team that thinks it has something special going. It doesn't matter if you agree or if the Sox actually do. It only matters that they believe they do."

Right, I don't agree, and for that matter I once again don't care. When Ozzie Guillen says, "You know how you make chemistry? Win games,'' now that is a philosophy I can adopt.

Because you know who's job it is to make sure that the chemistry is there with or without a big name trade? Ozzie's.
