White Sox Week: Paul Konerko

So I was pretty tired yesterday so I skipped White Sox Week, which actually worked out perfectly because now everything is in perfect place. Today's player is Paul Konerko. He and Mark Buehrle have essentially been the face of the White Sox for the last decade, for good reason. Konerko is an impressive power hitter with over 300 homeruns with the Sox. He is a smart hitter with a good on-base-percentage. He is the 2005 ALCS MVP. He put up MVP like numbers last year, but with age catching up to him, he may not have many more years like that. But I'd put trust in Paulie for the next 3 or 4 years. He leads his team like no other and he is a great overall team player. His defense is starting to fall and his hitting will die down, but he can hit and he can hit far. He will be their 3 or 4 hitter. I'm expecting big things out of Paulie this year. Go White Sox!
