"During his career with the White Sox, Paul Konerko has seen just about everything, from unexpected changes to the unequaled championship.

When he first appeared with the Sox in 1999, Ron Scheuler was the general manager, Jerry Manuel was manager and Magglio Ordonez and Frank Thomas were teammates.

He saw them all leave, mostly before they were ready to go.

So he has observed that change is inevitable, especially after a season like the current White Sox have endured."
