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!

From all reports I read about the kid
he’s lost the ability to play a competent third and is pretty much pegged as a first baseman. He was not the answer to the A’s questions at third base.
he's also only 19
We’re not going to see him in the majors for a couple of years at least, and if he develops “normally” he won’t even be good for a little while beyond. Meanwhile the A’s need a real third baseman this year/next year, depending on what happens with Chavez.
