Old and falling apart? The guy has had just one season in his whole career that was limited by injury more than a few days here and there. That's a lot better record than Thomas has. Not to mention that, despite his size and age, he still runs better than a handful of our starters. Plus Thome is religious with staying in shape.
I'm a lot more worried about the health of Konerko, Dye, Crede and some of our pitchers than I am Thome.
Yeah I don't think Thome's the one to worry about on this team for next year. He started off great this season, hasn't done as well the 2nd half but I expect him to have another strong year next year.
