(Sorry, I'm very anti-CQ) And I can see the Alexei / Gordo switch, makes sense. Either way you're going to have back to back righties somewhere 3-6 and PK has pretty much never batted 3rd for us and I see no reason for that to change. And yes, CQ can be frustrating at times(a lot of the time) but at this point he's still our best hitter outside the 3-5 if we're assuming Konerko is back. EDIT: Thinking about it a little more, Q is actually a better hitter than Rios as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Parque Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I would think Ozzie would probably just keep Rios batting 3rd. He had success doing it last year and you still get RLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalls2598 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Sorry if this had been posted elsewhere, but I'm kinda drunk, and didnt see this elsewhere in my limited search of the site; anyways, per Rotoworld: SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that competing executives believe Paul Konerko "will surely stay" with the White Sox. The White Sox want Konerko back, and he doesn't want to go anywhere, so it's probably only a matter of time before something gets done. Heyman speculates that Paulie would get $13 million per season. Adam Dunn is now in the fold, but he's better off as a DH, anyway, with Konerko spending most of the time at first base.

At $105M and that's as of NOW. Before, Danks, Quentin, etc. I think we're looking at $120M unless we see a trade of some sort.

That's also Heyman's speculation, though Dunn and Pierzynski did both backload their contracts. $13 mill sounds about right for Konerko, considering his production, reputation, and the Derek Jeter treatment. Hoping for 2 years, though I imagine they'll give him 3, which honestly be quite scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 IMHO Konerko seems a bit to proud to just collect a paycheck and not produce. I think he goes 2 years with a mutual option for a third and player only for a 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for 2 years, though I imagine they'll give him 3, which honestly be quite scary. Plus he's coming off a huge year and turned down arb with would have netted him at least $14 million for 2011. If Jeter's contract would have run out 1 season earlier than it did, he probably would have received the money and years his agent was initially looking for.

Almost always the last couple years are just awful wastes of money. We are fine in the rotation, IMO.

The Reds are looking for a SS, I'd have no problem dealing Ramirez for him especially if they're sold on Escobar for 2012 and beyond. A top 3 of Jackson, Danks, and Bailey would be nice and would give them flexibility to deal Floyd if they get a good offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably build a package around Escobar and get the deal done. (considering his stellar AFL numbers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
