With how under the radar Konerko likes to be, I really doubt he would want to included in the opening day lineup as a tribute against a righty. I'm sure this whole year is going to be tough for him.
February 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) Is opening day at home or on the road? Home
February 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 04:13 PM) i promise you Paulie is the starting 1B Per Jerry's instructions.
February 20, 201412 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) I'd be fine with Konerko being the starting DH. How about Abreu at DH and Paulie at 1B?
February 20, 201412 yr Author QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) Per Jerry's instructions. That is what I am thinking.
February 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:09 PM) That is what I am thinking. Keppinger. Paulie will be nursing a sore back and Abreu will be back in Cuba visiting an ailing grandmother.
February 20, 201412 yr I read this thinking it meant starting pitcher. I was ready to jump in on the whole fight and everything.
February 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) I read this thinking it meant starting pitcher. I was ready to jump in on the whole fight and everything. cant imagine that's up for debate.
February 20, 201412 yr I really think Pauly will be the odd man out opening day. Dunn at DH since it is a lefty pitcher and Abreu holding down 1B to start the season.
February 20, 201412 yr QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) How about Abreu at DH and Paulie at 1B? I like the symbology of Konerko passing 1B off to Abreu for the opener, but still getting into the starting line up for the home fans to get to recognize him for his final opener.
February 21, 201412 yr I just don't see any way that Paulie doesn't start the final opener of his career, and, really, I'm fine with that.

February 21, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) Abreu will start. Konerko unfortunately will too because White Sox. You put the best team on the field .The time for your investment to start paying off is from Day 1. Yogi.

February 21, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 09:51 PM) Abreu will start. Konerko unfortunately will too because White Sox. Yeah, it would be so White Sox to have Konerko and his .900 + OPS start against LHP, relegating Dunn to the bench against the lefties he doesn't hit. The horror.
