You can Officially Cross the O-Dog off Your Wish List

Despite their apparent need for a veteran top of the order guy and an established second baseman, the White Sox officially passed on Orlando Hudson who, according to MLBTraderumors.com via Sirius XM Radio, signed with the Dodgers. Not really a shocker here, as the Dodgers have been the frontrunner in Hudson "sweepstakes" (if you can really call it that) for some time, but I was still holding out hope that KW would swoop in and bag a cheap veteran that immediately fills two pressing holes on this team. Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman notes that the Sox are fully committed to the young trio of Getz, Nix, and Lillibridge (in case you didn't already know).
