Ten years ago, the Chicago White Sox were still celebrating the franchise’s first World Series title in 88 years following a 1-0 win in the series clincher the night before. At that time, the last thing on people’s minds was the future of the hot corner over the next decade. Joe Crede was a clubhouse leader, a defensive stalwart, a clutch hitter, and still in the prime of his career, having turned just 27 early in that magical 2005 season. However, Crede’s health became an issue for him and never played more than 97 games in a season following the 2006 campaign with the Southsiders.
Should David Freese be on the White Sox radar?
