Wow, Kenny, can I trust you? $56 million over four years. I can swallow it, if and only if they also resign Konerko. I was slightly relieved, after learning A.J. had been resigned, but this move still makes me a little nervous. The Sox let Jenks become a free agent, and did give Alexi the raise he deserves. Now, do the Sox have enough to resign Konerko and J.J. Putz? I think Reinsdorf has the money to do so, and Kenny could make it happen. One reason I could see Konerko resigning is because he is in the same boat as he was the last time he was a free agent. The Sox traded Rowand for Thome before they resigned Konerko. I think one the reasons Konerko took less money was because he felt the move made the team better and put them in a better position the repeat.
A few things I have found out today about Dunn are that is very similar to Thome. A younger version though. At 31, he is supposed to be great in the clubhouse, has only missed a handful of games in his career and hit half of his home runs last year at his unfriendly hitter home park. A lineup of Pierre, Beckham, Konerko, Dunn, Rios, a not so serious Quentin, Alexi, A.J., Morel/Teahen sounds great.
I really enjoyed Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, the film. Over the summer I had got Infinite Jest from the library, but upon getting, and seeing its length, I decided I wasn't going to read it. It sat on my shelve for 3 weeks. I still don't think I' ready to tackle it, but after seeing BIWHM, I wouldn't mind reading the book.
