June 5, 200322 yr I subscribe to TSN's fantasy service and I emailed them a question about PK and they posted it on their site. Here's the url for anyone else who is a TSN member http://fantasysource.sportingnews.com/base...l/20030605.html Q: Is it finally time to give up on Paul Konerko? After his breakout season last year, many fantasy owners expected much of the same this year. However, he has been a total disappointment. What's your advice on what to do with Konerko in a 5x5 12-team league? Alex Louisville, Ky. A: We have had a lot of inquires about Konerko -- for obvious reasons. We wouldn't give up on him, but he shouldn't be in your starting lineup, either. The disturbing thing about Konerko is that his slide didn't start this season. Last year, he hit .328-20-71 before the all-star break, but just .270-7-33 after the break. We aren't sure what is going on here, but it's not good. He could be hiding an injury or just going through a terrible slump. The later is probably most likely. You probably picked Konerko pretty high, so don't cut ties with him. He could find his swing and breakout in a big way. Just stick him on your bench and hope for the best. Another possibility is a trade. Don't just give him away, though. Jeff Paur Poor Paulie, I hope he gets it together soon.
June 5, 200322 yr I got my name in one of those type of things once too. It's cool as hell to see your name on a big website like that.
