Casanova should be in for AJP. No reason to risk injury w/him.

Depends on what he's offered at the end of the year.  If Anaheim offers him $15 million a year for 5 years, is he a good value then?

Yes. I'd be willing to give Konerko up to ~$18 million, but past that, im not sure about it.

He adds some sort of fear to our lineup, something Tracy, Overbay, or Gload dont do. He is the rock of the lineup, and I see no reason to be stingy in paying him.

Garcia stays in the game, but Gload's at 1b and made a great pick on the play.

And Borchard is in right.

Yes.  I'd be willing to give Konerko up to ~$18 million, but past that, im not sure about it.

18 million a year?

18 million a year?

I hope he's joking

Why is Freddy still in there??

He started this inning with 89 pitches thrown.

 

I'd have taken him out, but at least it's not an insane number yet.

H. Christ. I don't think I'd pay that for Manny right now.

I know. But w/ this lead, this late, there's no reason for him to be in there anymore

Very nice FG, very nice.

Great start by Garcia. Take him out though, no reason for him to stay in.

Nice play Uribe.

 

Ozzie...if you send Freddy out for the 9th...

18 million a year?

Considering the market which is available for the Sox if Konerko walks, yes. He's a good 40 HR hitter a year, something which isnt going to be available at 1b in the FA market for many years to come.

Especially when there's been concern about his health/fatigue.

Im not sure, I think that keeping him in might give him some confidence, since he has dominated this game.

Thank God you're not the GM. That would be one of the worst contracts given out in MLB history

I wouldn't pay him more than 12 per. period

I agree 100% with you...just pointing out that hopefully no harm was being done.

8-1 gives him plenty of confidence.

I think Rollins for $40 over 5 years is worse.

I wouldn't pay him more than 12 per. period

I think if we open with that as an offer...we'll probably hold onto him.

I'd offer PK 3/36, and if he said no, I'd wish him well and look to make a trade for a 1b.

He's a damn solid SS. Wait until Furcal gets 4/45 in the offseason.

Rollins plays a premium defensive position. I'm not saying he's worth $40 million, but $18 million for Konerko would be about as bad of a contract as Eric Milton's...
