Interesting stuff. I had two reactions: (1) I hope Uribe can break out of the April-only funk like Loaiza did last year; and (2) what if the White Sox got 3 or 4 guys who were really hot starters like Uribe every year to get the team going in April while Thomas, Crede, Maggs et al. heat up? Then Kenny can trade 'em while their value is high. Why can't we get Clement for Uribe right now?
