White Sox GM Ken Williams says the team may not make any moves prior to the trade line.”Prices are still too high as far as I’m concerned,” said general manager Ken Williams, speaking to the media for close to 20 minutes prior to Monday’s series opener with the Mariners. “You know, we have a plan and that plan resulted in this team being constructed the way it is.

“This plan also has contingencies based on somebody going down for injury and being able to bring up Minor Leaguers to fill those needs. And next year, we’ve got guys that come up and fill much bigger roles. So you have to be cognizant of making a move that is a little too shortsighted and jeopardizes your future.

However, Williams also noted that if a team lowered its asking price and the right deal presented itself, he would pull the trigger.  Williams has been attempting to obtain a bat and has most notably been linked to Adam Dunn and possibly obtaining him in a three-way-deal.

One reason why Chicago might have problems with a trade this year is that teams are asking for pitching prospects in return.  The White Sox don’t have any true pitching prospects to deal aside from Daniel Hudson. If the White Sox decide to trade Hudson, the move also leaves them thin in the starting rotation without a corresponding move.

“At the end of the day, this is what’s going to happen,” Williams said. “I’m going to get all the information and all the possibilities. I’m going to sit down with my staff, my scouts and that’s going to start tomorrow. Sit down with everyone and get everyone’s ideas.

“I’m going to tell them what the real possibilities are — not the rumor central possibilities. Then I’ll try to ask the questions of the coaching staff about fit.
