Tough to change White Sox

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was obviously frustrated after Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay, and who can blame him?
Guillen said changes are coming before Tuesday's game against the Royals, but general manager Kenny Williams doesn't have much wiggle room.
You can't trade Jim Thome, his value his way too low right now.
You can't trade Paul Konerko because he's a 10-5 guy and has veto power.
You can't trade Nick Swisher because Williams just dealt three top prospects to get him.
Here's what I would do.
Sit Swisher for a couple games because he is mentally fried. Put Alexei Ramirex in center field.
See what Juan Uribe can do with the bat for a couple games at second base.
That's it.
The Sox have a lot of home games coming up, so give Thome, Konekro and even Swisher some more time. If they are still scuffling in mid-June, we'll have this chat again.
