I think this deal is very reasonable for both sides. I like the "retirement" package that defers money over time rather than commit 12.5 million per season to what would be a 39 year old player on the last year of the deal. Great to have you back Paulie.

Yes sir! Man i'm excited for baseball. We get some BP help and were set.. I wish we had a shot at Soriano. I feel a big year for our starting five, and for the orginization too. Go Sox!

What if he doesn't retire at the end of the contract? Do you think they added a clause that wipes out the 7mil at then end if he doesn't?

Alright! Congratulations, Paulie!!! :bowrofl: Thank you, Jerry and thanks, Kenny!
Things are looking up for a great season next year. We've got a 1-2 punch with Konerko and Dunn. If Carlos stays in the mix, I'm going to be ecstatic for '11. I can't wait! Now let's get the pitching sewn up!

I wanted Paulie back more than anything this off-season. The only way I want to see Paulie leave the White Sox is through retirement.

No that is just money deferred to lessen the impact of the contract on the team's budget in the future. I used the term "retirement" simply because Konerko will be 39 at the end of this contract and one would think he would be very close to calling it a career at that time. Regardless of what happens he is guaranteed that money.

Surplus Infielders
We need bullpen help. We arguably have the following infielders that could be used as trade bait:
Teahen (we'd have to eat part of his contract, of course and he can play OF)
Viciedo (we might live to regret letting him go, but where is he going to play for us?)
Vizquel (he adds so much to the team, and this is his last year anyway)
Morel (great defense, will his hitting develop?)
Lillibridge (never going to be starter, but is utility and cheap)
Given how little depth we currently have in the OF, I wouldn't mind trying to move Teahen or Viciedo to get some relief pitching.
I'd do this before moving Quentin. Because, although CQ is a defensive liability and should really be a DH, we don't have a viable alternative in RF.
Whaddya think?

The current group of free agent relief pitches is deep and there is no reason to trade Viciedo for help when we have just scratched the surface of his talents. I just find his upside too high to trade him at this point in his career.
