Signing a big-name free agent SS and asking him to move to 2B isn't realistic. Neither is asking the face of the franchise, Tim Anderson to move out of his preferred position. But there are plenty of trade options out there to fill the #WhiteSox gaping hole in the middle of the infield.  For more baseball talk, check out Major League A*Holes on the web , Twitter , YouTube , Facebook , and Ins...

[NOTE: Apologies for Smitty’s shitty audio quality as we had some technical difficulties we were unaware of at the time of recording.
