The Score is asking if Konerko/Thome will be the best back to back (in the line up) Sox players ever.

That puts the Sox' predicted payroll at $87.475 (or $88.475 if he makes $13M next year) for the 2006 season.

 

Thome = $6M

Konerko = $12M/$13M

Most definitely.

Even though most would not like to admit it...when Joey Belle was here, he and Thomas were the most prolific in Sox history. Joey had the best single season in SOx history that year.

'97 wasn't bad either.

That still allows us some payroll flexibility if needed.

Thomas/Belle>Konerko/Thome, but not by much IMO.

Was there every any doubt?

 

I haven't felt this good since October 26, 2005.

Very true. A lot of these are predicted numbers though, so the payroll could sway about $2M either way.

I don't know who reported that one, but it's a crock of s***.

 

LA times reported it

It depends on how they do together. Before they played together and one struggled when the other didn't, Belle and Thomas was pretty impressive.

Even Frank/Maggs was better.

Plus it sounds like we will move Marte (2.5M), and Hermy will likely go the surgery route and miss the year or get traded (3M), so that's more money opened up as well.

thats what i was thinking

not much....if we make a trade we will probably dump some salary...marte maybe or el duque who is dead money at 4 mil for a long reliever when baj or even adkins probably could be better anyways

Way to go Kenny!!!

 

By the way, Hawk is on the Score right now.

If Hermy doesn't play next year, we're on the hook for his $3M. He won't be traded, way too much of an injury risk.

In 2000, yes. The other years they were together, not so much.

If he has surgery, insurance pays a big chunk of his salary.

When does he get the 'C' on the jersey??????
