Report: White Sox sign Cuban Babe Ruth (Viciedo) to 4 year deal

mlb.com is reporting that the White Sox have reached a reported 4 year, $11 million deal with Dayan Viciedo, the cuban defect super-prospect that many ANers had their eye on.  The White Sox have always been the front runners in that race, but that didn't stop a lot of us from wishing in light of the deal the A's gave Michel Inoa.

In light of this, what's the A's best plan for 3rd base?  Should they go with the Chavez/Hannahan plan like last year considering that Chavez seems so optimistic about his rehab?  Perhaps make a play for Joe Crede, or more attractively, Josh Fields?  Should the A's begin grooming Adrian Cardenas to play 3rd base?  Discuss!
