1B Paul Konerko was pushing for the club to re-sign Jim Thome to DH, but even with manager Ozzie Guillen taking the pass on Thome and wanting to stay the course with his DH-by-committee plan, it isn't like the players are ready for a revolt. Konerko, who is also the team captain, made that clear when he insisted "This is a time where you trust Ozzie, trust [GM Kenny Williams] and stay with them on it." The White Sox could still make a change and get more of a full-time DH if need be, with Williams stating that his team is "an evolving process."
