Future Hall of Famer, Omar Vizquel of the Chicago White Sox, spoke out about improvements the Chicago White Sox should make before the Trade Deadline.

“I think we need to add something,” Vizquel said. “If it’s not another pitcher, probably it’s another hitter. This is a time where we really need to make a step towards getting better and to separate between the teams that are around, having a chance, and the teams that really need to go on to the playoffs.

“I guess the final cut is coming. This is the last time to make a change, and I think that with another guy on the team, we might secure the next step.”

The White Sox have been in a serious pursuit of Prince Fielder and Adam Dunn. General Manager, Kenny Williams, has recently said that he was confident that he would land one of the sluggers.

Chicago has also been laying the groundwork for adding a starting pitcher, but they may wait until the last minute to acquire a starter to replace the injured Jake Peavy.

In regard to Vizquel’s assessment, Guillen has no problem with freedom of speech on his team.

“Good for him. His job is to play, not to make trades,” Guillen said of Vizquel. “I know how the players feel. I always give my players the freedom to talk and say how they feel. I think if they feel that way, we know that.

“Kenny is aware of that. If I had a magic ball and it said, ‘If you trade for this guy, you’re in,’ I would trade all 25. But that’s not guaranteed. Are we going to make the team better? We don’t know. Believe me, I can’t wait and Kenny can’t wait for Sunday, just to get away from that. I think if everybody out there does what they’re supposed to do, I don’t think we need anything.”
