White Sox Trade Aaron Rowand for Jim Thome

by @ 8:08 am. Filed under 2006 Season

I’m heading out for Thanksgiving, but I wanted to touch on this really quick. Looks like the Sox and the Phillies have agreed on a deal that would send Aaron Rowand to the Phillies for Jim Thome and a boatload of cash. I’ll do a more detailed analysis tonight, but my first question would be what about Paul Konerko? Will Thome be the DH or are they giving up on signing Konerko.

I have mixed feelings about the deal, so check back tonight and we’ll look at it a little more.

UPDATE

According to Lee Sinins, Gio Gonzalez and Daniel Haigwood were both part of the deal. John Sickels had Gonzalez as the White Sox second best prospect and had some nice things to say about him as he lit up both low A and high A ball last year. Haigwood wasn’t even the list. But letting a potentially great arm like Gonzalez go is a little disappointing.
