BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2013-10-28 18:00:00 (link to chat)	Where do you see James Loney landing? (yancyeaton from Fort Myers, FL)	Who needs a first baseman would be the question. Tampa Bay is the only team that has been linked to him, but maybe Loney leaves if he can squeeze a two-year deal out of someone. It's a fairly thin market, though, as a lot of teams already have a first baseman tied up to a deal. The White Sox could be players if they don't resign Paul Konerko, and the same could be said for Boston if Mike Napoli walks. Loney is probably a one-year stopgap at best, and it's entirely possible he goes the route of Russell Branyan and doesn't find a taker this winter despite the incredibly strong campaign in 2013. (Mike Gianella)
2013-03-20 11:00:00 (link to chat)	Which current player is most like RUSH (has extremely devoted fans, professional critics lukewarm, took long time to get proper recognition). (dianagram from VORGville)	Second Rush question! I'd like to make a clever lyrics reference here but I'm not that smart... How 'bout Paul Konerko? Very good for a long time with some truly great seasons mixed in, still kicking long past the point when people assumed he'd be gone, borderline HoF'er... (Cory Schwartz)
2013-02-25 11:00:00 (link to chat)	Your fans miss the days of the Professor and the talented Mr. Goldstein entertaining & educating the baseball fan community onthe Up & In. I loved the episode when you explained the importance of hitting approach and singled out Paul Konerko for his advanced approach and ability to make pitch-to-pitch adjustments. Which position players in the Top 101 have the most advanced approaches at the dish? (Chris from Long Island)	Thanks. Profar's approach is incredibly mature. He tracks balls like a major league vet. Good example of his maturity: yesterday, with a runner on third and nobody out, Profar at the plate. Instead of going for the RBI with cheap contact or a cheap fly, Profar worked the count and wouldn't expand his zone and chase. He took the walk. It will read as a simple BB on the stat sheet, but from a scouting perspective, it told a detailed story about the approach. I was impressed. You just don't see young hitters doing that, especially early on in camp. (Jason Parks on the Top 101 Prospects)
2012-09-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	To what baseball player would you compare Paul Thomas Anderson? And what season or story most closely resembles the arc of "The Master"? (Will from Rochester)	Good question. I'm not sure "The Master" had much narrative arc though, y'know? It was more a character study, or more accurately a study of the struggle between two men who are strong in very different ways. With that in mind, I'd comp PTA to Paul Konerko. Every plate appearance is an epic struggle of the pitcher trying to inflict his will and Konerko resisting. (Ian Miller)
2011-06-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Ben, in my standard 6x6 roto league, I just accepted a trade of Kevin Youkilis and Shin-Soo Choo for Paul Konerko. Is it just me or did I get fantastic value for the rest of Konerko's season, which HAS to be somewhat of a regression. (SnakeDoctor18 from NY)	You gave up Konerko and got both of those guys? Apologies if my next answer is delayed, as I'm starting a slow clap...now. (Ben Lindbergh)
2010-06-18 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Following up on "what is Brett Gardner worth", would you consider trading him for Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko or Nick Swisher? I have OF depth... (Ted from the cubicle)	I'd unload Konerko for Gardner. I mean, is Konerko really going to hit 46 HR this year? He has that Bautista-esque feel of a guy who will fall off in the second half. I think the benefit Konerko would have provided is for those who drafted him and got the brunt of his torrid start, but acquiring him at this juncture -- or keeping him -- isn't likely to add much. And given that Swisher and Dunn are better players than he anyway, yeah get Gardner's steals for the surplus power. (Eric Seidman)
2010-05-24 14:00:00 (link to chat)	At the beginning of the season, who could have imagined such a lackluster group of players making up the American League leaderboard for home runs? Is the National League finally catching up in terms of talent? (psychdoc777 from Chicago)	It's certainly a weird list, isn't it? Not that I don't enjoy seeing Paul Konerko beating off Father Time, again; I expect that career-ending hip issue Tommy Lasorda conjured up more than a decade ago as a matter of CYA is bound to catch up to Konerko someday. For myself, I think it makes for a fascinating question about what's to come. Does anybody expect Jose Bautista to reach 30? He certainly doesn't have to in order to wind up with a career year. Ty Wigginton's doing enough good stuff to keep attention from focusing on "Garrett Atkins, Needless Expense in Cleats" when it comes to journeymen employed as Orioles. But here again, does this mean he's going to double his season tally with more than two-thirds of the season to play? Anybody expect that? It makes for an interesting proposition as far as who might end up winning an MVP award: One of the Twins' towers? Somebody who has a great second half for a late-charging contender? A pitcher? But I don't take it for a minute to mean that the NL's caught up to anybody--their list of HR leaders is almost as freaky, with Kelly Johnson and Rod Barajas up there. (Christina Kahrl)
2010-05-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Are the Yankees looking for a longer-term solution at DH than Juan Miranda, or are they going to rotate the vets through and give too many PA's to the likes of Ramiro Pena? (Eli from Brooklyn)	I'm hearing they will pounce on Paul Konerko if the White Sox decide to start trading off veterans. (John Perrotto)
2009-11-19 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you think the Angels will land Paul Konerko this offseason? (Angel fan from Los Angeles)	To what possible end? They are just getting done with an aging, immobile, expensive right-handed DH. This is that silly three-way rumor, right? The Angels need Konerko like I need a muscle shirt. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-11-19 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Will any of the following players be on the Orioles in April: Bell, Snyder, Guthrie, Scott? (Drungo from SoMd)	Guthrie, who doesn't have much trade value but is a useful innings guy. Scott really needs to be traded while his value is high. I saw both Bell and Snyder in AFL...Bell won't play 150 games at third base in the majors. Snyder looks like he can be Paul Konerko without the peak. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-12-11 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for taking the time for the chat. We all know there have been substantial talks with a couple of teams regarding Jermaine Dye, but is there any information on players like Bobby Jenks, Paul Konerko, and Jim Thome, who are all possibilities to be traded this offseason? (Ben from Work)	It appears that the White Sox are going to hang on to Jenks now and there never seemed to be much of a market for Konerko and Thome, who both have no-trade clauses. (John Perrotto)
2008-11-03 13:30:00 (link to chat)	Who has the most gas left in the tank: Adrian Beltre, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Raul Ibanez, or Chone Figgins? Which ones would you want on your team in '09? (McGoldrick from Los Angeles)	That's not really a comparison of like to like, but I'd pick Figgins from among that crew, if only because speed guys seem to retain value wel enough. Beyond that, I'd take Beltre, but I can't say I'm wildly enthusiastic about any of them. It's easier to suggest that I'd put Paulie at the bottom of the pile, and work up from there. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-07-25 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Thoughts about Chris Davis so far? Adam Dunn with less on base skills? (ew from Madison)	That guy can't play in the majors, if so. There should be some development left, which would make the difference between him being Paul Sorrento and, say, Paul Konerko. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-06-25 14:00:00 (link to chat)	White Sox fans have reason to be encouraged this year, but the 'conventional wisdom' was that they'd have one last run with the current roster and that'd be it before a massive retooling. Do you think the emergence of Danks/Floyd/Quentin/ARamirez bodes well for a continued run of competitiveness? (ChuckR from Addison, IL)	I think, absolutely, there are different kinds of good years. There's the kind of good year where Paul Konerko is hitting .370 or something, and then there's the kind of good year where you have three or four guys emerge who all of the sudden look like they're going to be a big part of your long-term future. This has been that latter kind of year for the White Sox, and while they still have some pieces they're going to have to exchange, they would also seem to have found the core players that will prevent them from having to suffer through a rebuilding year while doing so. Then again, 2007 was Kenny Williams' rebuilding year. He just didn't want to tell anybody about it. (Nate Silver)
2008-05-09 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Nick Swisher and Paul Konerko -- are they just slumping, or toast? (Bruce from New York)	Just slumping. You want to leave the B and the L on the plate and get some toast, you'll have to look elsewhere. (Christina Kahrl)
