Sox Win...Chavez Coming to Chicago?

The Sox won 6-4 over Cleveland tonight, scoring all of their runs whithout hitting a HR. The best example was in the 1st when the Sox put a huge rally together, much of it with 2 outs, and scored 4 runs by just making contact, putting it in play and getting lucky to find holes in the infield. That whole inning reminded me of how the Sox used to be beat by the Twins. It's great to see the table's turned, although it wasn't against Minnesota.
Whispers around the rumor mill today have the Sox shipping out Joe Crede and future ace Brandon McCarthy to Oakland for 4 time gold glove third baseman Eric Chavez. Chavez is currently hitting around .230 on the season with 5HR and 28 RBI and has struck out 49 times. He is a .274 career hitter over his 6 seasons in Oakland and he is a proven all-star caliber player, but I don't think it's a great move to replace a struggling third baseman to with one who is struggling this year himself. There is no problem with Crede's defense, the Sox need him to hit. Why bring in a guy who this season is barely hitting any better and has twice as many strikeouts than Crede does? On top of that, the A's are not in need of pitching, they need position players. They received an abundance of young arms for Mulder and Hudson from the Braves and Cardinals. After what happened to the Sox in the 5th starter spot last year, I hope KW is smart enough to not give McCarthy away for anyone. He is the best insurance policy that the Sox have, and the only one they've had in years, and they already have needed to use him this season. The Sox need a third baseman, but this trade could hurt us more than it could help. I won't believe it until I see it, and if I see it I will not be pleased.
