Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 02:16 PM) Who will be the opening day starter at 1B? Do the Sox send Paulie out there symbolically as a tribute or defer to the rookie? It will be against Ricky Nolasco so it better be Abreu at 1B and Dunn at DH.

Do the Sox send Paulie out there symbolically as a tribute or defer to the rookie? With how under the radar Konerko likes to be, I really doubt he would want to included in the opening day lineup as a tribute against a righty. I'm sure this whole year is going to be tough for him.

Jose Abreu Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I read this thinking it meant starting pitcher. I was ready to jump in on the whole fight and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo880 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I really think Pauly will be the odd man out opening day. Dunn at DH since it is a lefty pitcher and Abreu holding down 1B to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the symbology of Konerko passing 1B off to Abreu for the opener, but still getting into the starting line up for the home fans to get to recognize him for his final opener.

Heads22 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I just don't see any way that Paulie doesn't start the final opener of his career, and, really, I'm fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would be so White Sox to have Konerko and his .900 + OPS start against LHP, relegating Dunn to the bench against the lefties he doesn't hit. The horror.
