Paul Konerko has been telling friends that he wants to return to the White Sox next year, reports Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY. Konerko "believes he can still be productive," according to Nightengale's report. The 37-year-old continues to struggle mightily on the field, posting a .244/.314/.358 slash line with 10 homers in 105 games. It's possible that the free-agent-to-be just doesn't have it anymore.
