Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 If he can some how end the season with an average of .290 with an obp of .365-.370. Oh damn that would be insane trade bait. Yup, I love Paulie. But if we can get a front-line starter or a speedy/high on base percentage guy, i'll trade Paul in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think a good streak here at the end will raise PK's trade value much. GM's know what Konerko is. It might work with fans, but I doubt it affects the opinion of any GMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 You guys really think that 40 HRs and 111 RBI without the protection of two of the best hitters in baseball, DOESN'T have trade value??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think PK"s got PLENTY of trade value. I just don't think that a few hits here at the end will enhance his value much, if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think that a few hits here at the end will enhance his value much, if any. I wasn't addressing you specifically YAS, but a lot of people seem to be stuck in 2003 when it comes to PK. The guy IS the MLB 2004 comeback player of the year IMO. He also has had one bad year out of 6. People seem to be holding his trade value to 2003 instead of the other 5 years, and I don't quite understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Why does it seem to me that instead of being happy with a 40/111 guy, we spend a bunch of time looking for a 40/111 guy who is making less to put on the payroll? So far we've wanted to trade every guy in the lineup hoping for some Holy Grail of guys making the league min and hitting .330/40/100 We need to build around guys like Kong, not trade them away. We've been creating more holes then filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to keep them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 That was a nice hit he had last night to knock in the winning run! To be truthful, that was the only part of the game I watched last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 It does feel good to see PK having this type of year. Last year was just down right terrible. I don't want to see him get traded bu if it helps out the team then I guess the Sox gotta do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to keep them both. I understand, then next off season we'll be complaining we don't have a decent 1st baseman and/or LFer and will need some sort of trade to fill the hole at 1st or LF. When can we fill a hole without creating a new one? :rhetorical question: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 A couple more notes on Pauly's 6 years on the southside. His 40 HRs, giving him a total of 162 HRs, moved him from 10th to 6th in one season on the all-time White Sox HR list. In one season he passed Sherm Lollar, Minnie Minoso, Ron Kittle, and Bill Melton. He currently stands only 9 behind Robin Ventura, for 5th, and 25 behind Maggs for 4th. Also on the RBI front his 557 RBIs move PK within 74 of Sherm Lollar for 10th on the all-time White Sox RBI leaders. In his 6 seasons here, he has averaged 92.8 RBI per season, even including the disaterous 65 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I wasn't addressing you specifically YAS, but a lot of people seem to be stuck in 2003 when it comes to PK.

I am not saying whatsoever that he does not have any trade value because right now he has a s*** load. Just saying would like to see him get hot and add just a wee bit more value. I basically wrote last year off for him and to me he is about a .290 hitter hitter in his career with the white sox compared to about .277-.279 he really is with the terrible season last year.
