Harris To Be Demoted?

Chisox.com has an article regarding who is most likely to be sent down with the return of Gload from the DL. The powers that be seem to believe that Willie Harris is less of an asset than Timo Perez, both of whom still have options remaining and would not have to clear waivers if sent down to AAA. I could not disagree more. Perez is more of a liability than an asset. Willie Harris is as solid a defensive secondbaseman as you'll find and is also a sufficient centerfielder or shortstop. Perez is the worst defender on the roster, and odviously can not play in the infield as he showed on Monday in his start at 1B. So that limit's him to the OF, where he is not much better than he would be in the infield. They both bat left handed, so that's a wash. (Keeping Timo as a left-handed bat off the bench) As far as speed goes, I won't even bother getting into it. On top of all of that, Timo is hitting .197 to Willie's .275 this season. Add all of this together and you wonder what the hell Timo's veteran presence is doing to help this team.
The Sox won 6-5 yesterday with Garland earning his 9th victory of the season. The offense was solid, fouling off countless pitches and running the Cleveland starter's pitch count above 100 in 4 2/3 innings. Konerko and Crede homered, and Rowand went 2-3 and has been looking spectacular at the plate these past few weeks. The Sox are sending Buehrle out to the hill this afternoon to go for the sweep.
