Well, Paulie's signed. I think most of us still expected this, even with reports of talks breaking down. As soon as Reinsdorf stepped in, as was reported, I think it was foregone conclusion a deal would be reached.
The money is fair enough given what Paulie did this past season. But to be realistic, I don't think this deal is going to end well. He'll be 35 by the start of the season, and 2010 was a notch above any other season he's had, especially recently. Still, it's hard to hate seeing Paulie stay in Sox uni.
I think the best part about this deal is the nickname for the Dunn/Konerko duo. For those who don't know, Dunn's nickname is "Big Donkey". And if you don't know that Konerko regularly goes by "Kong" .... why are you here?
So...."Donkey Kong" becomes one of the cooler nicknames for a duo I've ever heard.
