According to a Chicago Tribune report, the Chicago White Sox have reached an agreement with third baseman Dayan Viciedo, the 19-year-old who defected from Cuba this past May. The report states the Sox will sign Viciedo to a contract worth around $11 million. Chicago may have had an edge in the competition for Viciedo because the club has two Cubans on its roster--AL Rookie of the Year runner-up Alexei Ramirez and pitcher Jose Contreras. Agent Jaime Torres believes Viciedo is ready to step in and fill the Sox' third base void at just 19 years of age, but Sox GM Kenny Williams has both Josh Fields and recently acquired Wilson Betemit currently competing for time at third. It'll be interesting to see if Williams could peddle Fields in a trade with Javier Vazquez, but Fields' value is certainly much lower than in last offseason.

Here's the thing Rich: when you make that much bank and are eliminated from bowl contention halfway through the season, you don't get to make those comments.
