Craig Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cha This deal was basically to avoid the pains of arbitration, which Buehrle was eligible for the next 3 years starting this winter, and is worth 18 million dollars. It's good to see us lock up Buehrle for a while. There is a club option for 2007 in this deal, but it's for 9 million bucks, so Mark better have it working the next few years if he is going to be with us in 2007. So much for the rumors I kept hearing that Buehrle couldn't wait to go to St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Very good move by K Dubya, and it's about time. Now if only we could find some suckers who will take Koch, Konerko, or Valentin off our hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Keep Konerko. I like this kid, very good hitter. He did struggle last season but at the end starting doing well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Keep Konerko. I like this kid, very good hitter. He did struggle last season but at the end starting doing well again. We released Daubach yesterday, so Konerko is staying IMO, even though I hear he is on the trading blocks at this point. I always liked him, but last year he was so awful, but I guess he's worth another chance. He's just never been the same hitter since the 2002 ASG. Koch was so awful last year, and his velocity was horrid, I wish to God we could find a sucker to trade him to, but I doubt it. Valentin we just picked up an option on, so I doubt we are trading him, but the man is NOT worth 5 million dollars this year, and nobody is going to convince me otherwise, and I hope nobody will try.
