Paul Konerko may be the key to winning

Hey 24Gordan, I seriously think that Baltimore wouldn't trade Roberts for Uribe. I'd be suprised if the White Sox could get any buddy for him....

What would they do with Alexi Ramirez if they acquired Roberts?  I doubt the White Sox would be interested, also.

I will also say that the White Sox all ready are in contention . . .

atomicpunk brings up a good point about us really needing Roberts, which begs the question - who / what does this White Sox team need right now to make them successful in 08?

I would like to see Konerko gone, and I love the guy.  He's been nothing but a class act for this club, but I don't think we really need him anymore.  To move both him and Thome doesn't make much sense and Uribe is a tough bargaining chip with the trade deadline coming up.  I say if we can get anything for Konerko or Thome, let's invest in future pitching.  We don't need any position players right now, and I still think Ozzie needs to let Fields play more at both DH and 3rd base during off days for regulars.

I do agree with both comments about Roberts and trade.  I like Alexi but I am not comfortable with his offense.  He has proven me with his defense. 

All the Thome doubters better get ready, he was 4-4 and average is up to .240.  Thome is the greatest baseball representative.  I was able to talk with him at Spring Training a year ago and he was so polite, contained the passion, and all he wants is a Championship.  He can carry a team for awhile. 

My Konerko hopes might be a little high, especially sicne he is hitting 6th. My worry is that Quentin starts a downward slide.  He will hit 30 HRs but he is only 11 away.  He has looked aweful the last couple games.
