White Sox decision review: Outfielders

A slow start put Melky Cabrera on a disappointing course and opened the door for second-guessing

Of all the offseason plans turned in last October, only two South Side Sox general mangers decided on the course chosen by the White Sox: Melky Cabrera.

Then again, there were a lot of ideas for this roster spot. In fact, at the time I counted, the offseason plans roped in 28 different outfielders.

Seven of them were free agents (in order of popularity: Nick Markakis, Colby Rasmus, Nori Aoki, Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Mike Morse, Ichiro Suzuki).
