I don't want to start a fight, but this is one of the worst trade ideas I have ever seen, and that includes the whitesox.com message boards.
Suppose the rumors are true about moving Konerko for Hudson. For your deal, we would essentially be giving up Carlos Lee, 3 prospects, and 10 million dollars, for Eric f***ing Byrnes?!?!?!
I'm pretty sure that if either Paulie or Carlos Lee are traded this offseason, we won't be paying for much of their contracts, let alone $5 million.
