Orioles Have Offered Paul Konerko A Contract
金鳥提了合約給PK

The Orioles have made Paul Konerko a "significant offer," according to Jim
Bowden of Sirius XM Radio (on Twitter). O's President of baseball operations
Andy MacPhail said last week that the team was disappointed to have missed
out on Victor Martinez despite offering a competitive deal. MacPhail said
that the Orioles are "looking at other options."
Konerko, who hit 39 homers and posted a .312/.393/.584 line last year, would
be a fit in Baltimore, where he could play first and hit in the middle of
Buck Showalter's lineup. He'll cost a draft pick since he turned down an
offer of arbitration from the White Sox, but Baltimore's first rounder is
protected.
Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles have offered
contracts to multiple free agents this week.
推測可能是3年以上的約(或更長)
但是金鶯成功簽下的希望不大，一般認為PK應該會在白襪打到退休
Paul Konerko(34,1B) 10年成績
548AB, .312/ .393/ .584 ,
HR 39, RBI 111, OPS .977, OPS+ 158, WAR(BR) 5.0
生涯OPS+120，表現穩定的老將，
10年更是大爆發，打出了OPS .977的生涯年成績
如果真的加入美東，想必又更加重了此區的火藥程度
