i'd like to see a lefty bat. if konerko keeps hitting i say we trade him while his value is climbing. maybe for a sean casey type player, or for a stellar defensive 1b(lefty of course). i think our offense is good enough to downgrade a bit to balance the lineup.
someone mentioned a while ago about konerko's lack of being able to stretch to catch throws. i've been watching him closely since then and i agree 100%. he gets no stretch at all and i think it costs the team on close plays at first. i think pauly is a good guy and a good player but if i'm choosing between lee, thomas, konerko to trade, i trade pauly.
