Big Hurt coming back
First baseman Paul Konerko, who had his first 100-RBI season and made the AL All-Star team for the first time, agreed to a $23 million, three-year contract with the White Sox on Nov. 14. "Any time a team is going to go and offer you a multiyear deal, whether it be three or four years, they're saying they are committed to you and believe in you," said Konerko, who batted a career-high .304 with 27 home runs and 104 RBIs in 151 games last season. "It's me saying I don't want to go anywhere else, I'm happy where I'm at." |
