I love Paulie and the contributions he's made to the team over the years. But even if he's willing to play for the minimum (which he won't be), the Sox are better served giving his AB's and roster spot to someone younger and better. It looks like we are going to be stuck with both Dunn and Keppinger next year. Adding Paulie to that mix makes no sense. Let Viciedo DH and find/develop a more athletic corner outfielder who can hit.
Konerko had a great run here. But, sadly, it's over.
