White Sox - Signed Konerko
Chicago White Sox - Signed 1B Paul Konerko to a 3-year contract.
2010 won’t come again for the Nerk, but at 3-years at $12.5 million or so per, Konerko won’t kill the White Sox and the farm system isn’t exactly overstocked with ready-for-the-majors sluggers. Dayan Vicedo is allegedly young enough that the White Sox won’t be giving away his peak and some more time in AAA to see if he can work on his plate discipline isn’t a bad idea, especially as I’m on his list for body comps, not something a professional athlete should aspire to.

1. Drew (Primakov, Gungho Iguanas) Posted: December 08, 2010 at 08:45 PM (#3705924)Folks keep talking about the bullpen being the most imminent need. What about a legitimate fourth outfielder, given Quentin's health and defensive issues and the fact that if Pierre starts to decline in the slightest, he's replacement level? I wonder what Andrew Jones is looking for -- I wouldn't mind having him back at all, given that he can still (a) fake a CF(*) and (b) fill in for an extended stretch and not be a complete black hole.
Hmm -- then again, I forgot about Teahen. That still doesn't give the Sox a backup in CF, though. Any ideas, or is De Aza a decent guess at this point?
(*)Fangraphs disagrees vehemently with this, albeit in a really, really small sample. I didn't think he was that bad out there -- certainly not good anymore, but not bad for a fourth outfielder.
I'd like to see the Sox grab Rick Ankiel. If nothing else, his bb-ref sponsor quote is awesome (and sadly accurate). More sponsors need to use song quotes from The National.
