The best part is the White Sox are still a 3rd place team at best.

At best they'll beat out the Royals and I have major doubts of even that.
Ken Williams sucks.

I still can't believe how short a time it took for the Chi Sox to plummet into cellar-dwellars from World Champs.

First off, dude, change your handle. PM one of the admins because you look like an idiot.
The reason Atkins only got $5 million is because he wasn't a free agent. He had three years of service time so this off-season he was eligible for arbitration for the first time. They avoided having to go to a hearing by agreeing to the $4.3 million figure. Next offseason, assuming he keeps producing, he should get a salary of $6-8 million. One more year of arbitration after that and then he's a FA, when he can cash in on a long term deal on the open market. That's how baseball's salary system works. The player gets screwed over his first 3 seasons and then he starts making money. mahalo
