Kenny Williams on re-signing Jim Thome in the off-season:
“It’s too early to go down that road. We most assuredly will need a left-handed bat. Whether or not there’s a match … I’m not so sure that’s the best course of action for us to have a pure DH rather than keep it a rotating DH to give guys a break.”
also:
Thome’s actual age is 39. Williams admitted that the two talked about the possibility of Thome coming back to Chicago as a 40-year-old DH in 2010. “It’s too early go down that road,” Williams said. “We most assuredly will need a left-handed bat.”
