    Could Konerko be on his way out then? I know the Angels are interested. I'm not all that high on Konerko.
    Looking for Los Angeles/California/Anaheim Angels in PSA 8 or better

    yes rumor has it konerko will sign with angels. which leads me to believe manny will be a met and the mets might actually steal him bc no one else wants him.

    I'm not quite sure what I think about this trade. I liked Rowand, thought he was a great defensive CF.

    Thome is left-handed, which we need. He had some injury problems, which we don't need. The Phillies are including $22M with him, which is good. His presence on the team at 1B or DH likely means either Konerko or Frank aren't coming back. Which I don't like. image

    I guess I'll wait and see how this trade plays out. Kenny may have more up his sleeve. Juan Pierre?

    In the end though, it doesn't really matter because we won the World Series. It's just gravy from here on out for a while. image

    Southsider,

    Just about a perfect post, I agree with everthing.

    Just hope Thome will be injury free and Brian Anderson or Super Joe Bourchard can finally develop and come thru !!

    This trade doesn't preclude the Sox resigning Konerko. They needed a left handed bat and Thome will be the DH if Konero is resigned. The Sox are blessed with a lot of outfield talent in their minor league system, hopefully Anderson will respond to the opportunity. What this really means is that Frank Thomas won't be resigned, which is sad.

    Is Frank Thomas done with the Sox?
    Proud of my 16x20 autographed and framed collection - all signed in person. Not big on modern - I'm stuck in the past!

    << <i>Is Frank Thomas done with the Sox? >>



    Everything I've heard has pointed to this...saying Thomas is done with the Sox...Thome would be filling his spot, and the CF they have to replace the one they traded is cheaper and does everything as good or better.
