fathom Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 PK's my favorite player of all time, but if Rangers are willing to take on the rest of his contract this year, they can have him without giving anything in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If s*** is offered I would rather keep him and have him retire a Sox unless he wants out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Great trade for Paulie, the Rangers and Sox. He gets reunited with AJP, we get 2-3 prospects. Two of our great winners of all time helping Texas win the WS. Makes perfect sense for Texas. Get it done, Hahn. Paulie can still make contact, he just is not hitting HRs. Is it technical or old age? Trade him and find out. Paulie deserves a shot at another WS. He'd be a hero forever in Texas if he pulls it off for them w/AJP.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Why would Texas want Konerko? Paulie is awful. I'd make the deal just to see Andy Wilkins the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Isn't Konerko only making like $6ish million this year, and then we have 6 years of $1 million bonuses to pay him? We would obviously have to cover all of those bonuses I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's got an Adam Dunn batting average. He still gets hits. He is one of those trade deadline signees that MIGHT help a team win it all.

Adam Dunn has always been more dangerous at the plate than Paul Konerko. There is this fallacy on this board that Konerko was better than Dunn. The last 2 seasons before this one, sure. Never before that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they decide to move in the right field fences to 250 feet all around the majors, PK might be able to hit a few more homers this year.

Jake Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) I really doubt Texas is/was serious about this. They want to get better at hitting. They'd just take Rios or Dunn. If money was a factor, they'd go for De Aza Why try to get one of the worst hitters on the worst offense in baseball?

chw42 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I don't think we'll get anything for him. We'll just end up saving around $5 million. If Paulie is planning on retiring after this year, we might as well hold onto him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
