Anybody wanna bet that KW is still not done with the line up??

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) I thought you were through with Paulie? I was just frustrated with Paulie holding the Sox hostage. I'm glad he's back. I would have been happy with D. Lee too, but I'm happy with Konerko.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 09:41 AM) #mlb #whitesox The Chicago White Sox have reached a preliminary agreement with 1B Paul Konerko on a 3-year contract - Nightangale 'Bout f***ING time!!! Now fix the bullpen for us KW and then let's go have a f***ing snack...

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 07:48 AM) so what is everyone's guess that will happened today? In a SHOCKER, White Sox sign Carl Crawford for 5/$100 million. Then Derrek Lee signs at a one year discounted rate because "he really wants to be in Chicago and wants to win another ring, and the White Sox are committed to winning a championship". Everybody hold hands and sing IMAGINE...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) Lee is younger than Konerko and has had nearly 200 more plate appearances than PK14 over the last 4 years, with the difference being that PK14 missed more due to injury. Konerko is about 7 months younger I think...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) Does anyone have a clue what Lee would like to do next year? You have to think that D. Lee would want to be with the Sox. Remember last year when he exercised his no trade clause while he was with the Cubs because he didn't want to leave the Chicago area? And I believe that he is still friends with Juan Pierre and Ozzie Guillen. They all won the World Series together in 2003 with the Marlins. And I bet he thinks that the Sox will have a very good team and could make a lot of noise in the playoffs next year. I bet D. Lee is hoping that Konerko shuns the Sox.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) I love Paulie as much as the next guy, but remember at the season's end he was saying how this time it won't necessary be about the money. Just sayin. If it's not about the money, then PK needs to quit f***ing about and say that and tell the Sox he's not coming back. If it's not a money issue then what the hell else does he want?? It is kind of sounding like Paulie is using the Sox to drive up his price and get more money out of the Diamondbacks. I don't blame KW for not pissing around with this anymore. Bring on D. Lee and the bullpen arms.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) Yeah Andrew Sisco, Ryan Bukvich, David Aardsma are all calling in. Ryan Bukvich is a right handed type of pitcher.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) Plus it allows you in on next year's 1B free agent frenzy. With the Red Sox and Yanks both with top notch 1B, anything is possible in relation to getting Fielder or maybe even Pujols. It never ceases to amaze me how Pujols' numbers make Teixiera, Fielder and even A Gonzalez look like lil b****es in comparison.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Why is it dragging on? How many of the top free agents have signed? Because what happens if a mystery team comes in and snags D. Lee and LaRoche? Who is going to play first if Konerko decides he doesn't want to come back to the Sox? Kenny's plan B or C can't sit around forever and wait on Konerko to make up his freaking mind. And I don't know about you, but I am NOT comfortable with Viciedo being our 1b.

If this thing drags on more, I guarantee you'll see a see on mlbrumors how D. Lee and the White Sox have started contract negotiations. Konerko's hand needs to be forced.

I wonder what it would take to get D. Lee and Scott Downs??

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) I'll take the over. It could feasibly be like this: Rios - 25 Dunn - 40 Konerko - 35 D. Lee - 30 (plus gold glove defense at a cheaper rate) Quentin - 30 We'll have to see how PK is. 35 might be a bit high. And who knows about Quentin...depends on which Quentin shows up next year. But, I would think 120+ is a safe bet.

DAMMIT PAULIE!!!! f*** it... call D. Lee and get him and some other pieces since Paulie is being a lil b****...

Has there been any news on what kind of contract D. Lee is looking for?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 03:06 AM) The fact that Dunn and Pierzynski both deferred money in order to try and get Konerko back, and Konerko still didn't resign, makes me think Konerko is being a big jerk. I'm starting to think "good riddance" to Konerko. This right here is making me more and more like the thought of D. Lee + a solid reliever in a White Sox uniform next year. KW is trying to get stuff done and Paulie better not screw around and cause us to end up with nothing. If he does, then he'll lose some love among Sox fans.

If all else fails we can always pry Brian Anderson from the Yanks...

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) cst_sox “I think Putz is headed elsewhere. We wanted him back, but he’s headed elsewhere.’’ KW on Putz returning. less than a minute ago cst_sox “There’s a fine line - when do you risk losing ur Plan B and C in favor of trying 2b as patient as u can with ur Plan A.’’ KW on PK deadline 4 minutes ago KW is losing patience fast. WTF Paulie???

QUOTE (joeynach @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) KW has since confirmed that the Putz ship has sailed. http://twitter.com/Joeynach Meanwhile there are some relievers and closers available that my be on KW list; Rafael Soriano, Manny Corpas, Kerry Wood, Manny Delcarmen, Grant Balfour, Jess Crain, Matt Guerrier, Aaron Heilman, John Rauch, Takashi Saito, Hideki Okajima, Dan Wheeler, Scott Downs I vote for this guy... simply because he's a freaking mad man!!! He would be so much fun!

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) what about one of the twins' bullpen arms, like crain or guerrier? Hahaha wouldn't it be great if we signed Jesse Crain, and he was LIGHTS OUT out everytime he pitched against the twins?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) KW says he had initial conversation with PK's people. Will lead to more conversations. Not optimistic. Not pessimistic at this stage - Scott Reifert Alright now Paulie come on stop f***ing about and sign on the dotted line. KW has other things to worry about - like the swiss cheese bullpen we got now. SIGN!!!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Told by #WhiteSox person difficult for team to do Konerko AND Putz. Sox still need bullpen help. Plenty out there. #MLB - Rosenthal Hideki Okajima anyone??

LOL Ozzie: "Joo know what's good about being in Venezuela"...... Ozzie: "Aw nevermind we both married I better not" LOL!!!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Yep, just came here to post that....Here is a LIVE link for those like me without MLB Network.... http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=15407782 Sweet!!! Thanks alot!

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) Ozzie next on MLB Network. lIVE I'm going to burn the offices at ATT-Uverse to the ground if they don't hurry the f*** up and get MLB Network.
