Paul Konerko Homers Thrice, Deserves Own Thread

  • Paul Konerko became the first White Sox hitter since Jose Valentin in 2003 to hit 3 homeruns in one game (full list here), as the White Sox pounded the Indians 10-6. Maybe he wanted to give the front office a vote of confidence after Brandon Allen, who some viewed as the Sox first baseman of the future, was traded prior to the game.
  • Mark Buehrle continued his trend of BABIP luck, as he seemed to be getting hit rather hard on the night, in contrast to Clayton Richard's last outing, yet allowed only 3 runs in 7 innings. He gets credit for sticking around long enough for Konerko and Sowers to take him off the hook and get a victory.
  • Chris Perez is my new favorite pitcher.
  • Bartolo Colon is scheduled to start a rehab assignment in AAA on Thursday, but is MIA.
  • Also from the article, Kenny Williams admits to being a bit handcuffed by the smaller crowds this season, and seems to acknowledge the mistake of the 'premium' pricing.

    "We've been probably pretty short or a little aggressive in our projections and we might have to take a lot closer look at it, because, the Dodgers series was certainly an eye opener for us," Williams said.

And there's also this . . .
Buehrle is ready to walk away from baseball. Not now, in the midst of perhaps the best season of his 10-year career with the Chicago White Sox, one rewarded this week with his fourth All-Star selection. Buehrle wants to finish his current contract in 2011, head back to his 1,200-acre ranch in Bowling Green, Mo., and pass up a shot at 300 victories and untold millions of dollars by retiring at 32.
"Everybody in here is calling B.S. on it," Buehrle said. "And it could be. Those two years could fly by and I could say I’m not ready to retire. But today? I don’t see myself playing past this contract."

by KenWo4LiFe on Jul 8, 2009 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

how you figure?

i might be in the minority here, but i like farmer in the PBP role. sure, he’s no rooney, but who is?

i also might be even further in the minority in that i’m glad he’s paired with jackson. he was outclassed by stone, but the chris singleton era was just godawful. jackson doesn’t have to parrot whatever hawk says anymore and adds just enough to the conversation that there aren’t any pregnant pauses of dead air. jackson’s frequent attempts at humor that fall flat on their face provides a ton of unintentional hilarity.

this is rambling, but i just can’t believe anyone employed by the sox to be 10x more annoying than hawk. that’s entering santo territory.

The Sox have plenty of needs, but fixing the bullpen is hardly one of them. Assuming Pena will slot behind Jenks, Thornton, Linebrink and Dotel, all Pena figures to add to the Sox is half a win.

Well, maybe he slots ahead of Linebrink and if Linebrink continues to blow this should read “all Linebrink figures to cost the Sox is half a win”.

Alexei Ramirez

Great game Paulie. As I did some of my fantasy stuff this morning I ran across this preseason snapshop.

2009 Fantasy Baseball Outlook
Just to clear up some things: he’s not that young (27) and he’s not that good (.317 OBP, 59% percent success on steal attempts, poor defense). With all that said, a shortstop with a decent BA, good power and speed is going to have a lot of fantasy value. Ramirez moves to short full-time this year, and while his limitations are clear, so is the potential for Shawon Dunston’s peak, which will play.

Alexei has been the object of seam head hate (Joe Sheehan and Keith Law) and written back slaps from SSS (including me) for laziness at various times.

When its all said and done though don’t forget what the team has. A 4 year contract at a little over a million a year. Arb years.

After yesterday’s game Alexei’s line is up to .276/.328/.420
He has 23 walks. As many as Paul Konerko.
His Fangraph value thus far is 1.6 WAR or roughly 7.1 million on the year.

How hot has he been?
Try this line for the last 50 games
.316/.373/.503

The Sox got a freaking steal.

I haven’t exactly read a number of articles from folks considering they might be wrong about him (JRE where are you?)

Yes he’s maddening. But I’m just saying……….

I don't know how anyone that watched him last year could think his slow start was going to stick

he’s a warm weather guy, plain and simple. He’s going to hit 300/330/520 or thereabouts and play average to below average defense somewhere in the infield. That’s still a good guy to have starting.

No its an aggregate number for Value over Replacment Player number for each player on the team.

In other words what’s done is done up to this point. The White Sox were negative for pretty much the first 2 months of the season and have gained ground quickly and steadily.

The Twins SHOULD be ahead but breaks and 23 games vs the East said no.

It doesn’t take into account pitching vorp (sorry should have made clear its hitting).

Overall though I think clearly the threat is Minnesota. I know, I’ve said it a million times.

Doesn't BPs 3rd order wins attempt to filter out the "luck"?

Sox are at 42.6, good enough for 10th in MLB. I mean, even with the crap start the Sox are still right there in the playoff hunt and have shown signs of having a decent team.

The AL East is just a monster.

That show strikes me as something more suited for Discovery Channel, in the vein of Deadliest Catch.

It’s just that the History Channel’s programming is skewing towards things like Ice Road Truckers and Monster Quest, things that don’t strike you as historically informative. A quick glance at today’s programming includes a glimpse into the technology of Batman…

Last weekend I watched a show on The History Channel about how all the founding fathers were masons and the signing of the Declaration of Independence was influenced by a ghostly apparition known only as “The Professor”…

Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Military Channel. I found I was watching History Channel to sate my WW2 documentary needs. Military Channel feeds that much more efficiently.

the studes thinks kenny paid too much
White Sox acquired RHP Tony Pena from the Diamondbacks for first baseman Brandon Allen. Pena, 27, had a 4.24 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP and a 26/11 K/BB ratio in 34 innings out of Arizona’s bullpen. He’ll fit in well with the White Sox, but they paid a pretty hefty price to nab him. Brandon Allen, a born slugger, could have eventually taken over at first base for Paul Konerko.

Top 100 Great Leaps Forward
Gordon Beckham, INF, White Sox (Pre-season ranking: 28)
This is a matter of the quickness of his arrival more than anything else. While most 2008 college draftees are in Double-A at best, Beckham started the year there after a monster spring training, went 13-for-28 in seven Triple-A games, and was in the big leagues by early June. He’s done an admirable job defensively while learning to play third base as he goes, and after beginning his major league career by batting .172 in his first 18 games, he’s batting .405/.436/.622 since and looks like a not-so-distant future All-Star.

Looking at the angles at a possible blockbuster trade involing GB

I have to think he’s not on the table. If they trade GB for pitching help THIS YEAR then they are back to square 1 at 3B, where the shit of Goggles and Fields has already cost them a couple of wins. It’s 2 steps forward and 1 big step backwards.

The goal has to be immediate improvement of the team. In that case then everyone and anyone not likely to help this year is on the table of course, but not Beckham or Dye or any of the other regulars.

Of course nobody is completely “off limits”, but the guys on the roster that will contribute to wins this year would have to be traded for a higher immediate return imo.

Not only that, but any rumor of trading Becks for pitching is rubbish, IMO. Even with the best pitching staff, if there isn't run support (and decent defense), you ain't going far. Becks upgrades both.

Also, the fact that we have Cooper says another thing…we don’t need a rotation of Halladays and Sabathias to have a successful pitching staff.

I sincerely do not remember a more exciting young player to come through our system. I’m still young, but hot damn, I am super effing stoked on Beckham and can’t wait to see what he does for the Sox.

Bonds, sure -- but he's in the top 3-5 of all time (depending how much you penalize him).

Neither Griffey nor Sosa (even at his most freakishly ’roided out) was as good a hitter as Frank.

seems likely why kdub is going to hold

they don’t have the major league depth (from active roster + almost ready players in the minors) to pull off something big that results in overall major improvement.

minor league updates i recall that egbert is doing well…what might he be worth?

I see no reason to not go back to half price Tuesday’s too. Boost the attendance then get the concession stands / Parking money. We’re two games out, we should be doing better attendance wise. Great pitching staff, teams on a solid run, playing a division rival, Gordon Beckham is here, if we finish out the first half within 2 games or better when Q comes back after the all star break if we aren’t pushing 30K for most games we’re in trouble.

Yeah I take the El so it’s not an issue normally, but I drove to one game this year and I was stunned with how much it was, $22.00 for parking is pretty brutal. And it’s not like the F Lot was close either.
