Windsock Flips Direction Again

Dr. Phlip flipped his flop again. Phlip Rogers, the Tribune columnist who thought Ken Williams' off-season pitching trades were a terrible idea in March, a great idea later in March, a terrible idea in May, and a great idea just one week ago... thinks they're a terrible idea again. No surprise there... we predicted it in our previous entry. This guy changes his position more often than Tom Skilling.

Today Phlip thinks Williams' trades of Garcia and McCarthy, which he described as "the right call" one week ago, were a bad call because Williams only got five young pitchers, and he should have also gotten a left fielder, a center fielder, and a shortstop. Doh! Kenny probably just didn't think of asking Texas and Philly to throw in three more position players. Shoot, we probably could have gotten Aaron Rowand, Michael Young, and Ryan Howard. Dammit Kenny.

Maybe Jerry Reinsdoft should name Phlip Rogers the Sox' new GM. Not only can he trade two pitchers for five pitchers, a left fielder, a center fielder and a shortstop, he's also always right, because his hindsight changes as fast as the circumstances. Some say his hindsight is so good because of the very special place where he stores his head.
