December 11, 200322 yr 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.
December 11, 200322 yr Author 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.
December 11, 200322 yr Keep Konerko. I like this kid, very good hitter. He did struggle last season but at the end starting doing well again.
December 11, 200322 yr Author 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.
