If you think Pierzynski is a "hell of a catcher", Konerko's career compares favorably to Lee's (clubhouse personality or stats wise), and the Cubs starting rotation is a problem, then you clearly don't know much of anything about baseball. You really shouldn't be calling Cubs fans out when you are not knowledgeable yourself.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Many Cub fans are knowledgeable. I am just saying you are blinded by loyalty to a franchise that knows you will come back to Wrigley Field no matter what the product.

Stats wise Konerko compares very favorably with Lee. Either one is a good choice, I meant PK has more field presence, but that was an opinion, I'm not dissing Lee.
Check out their 162 game averages. Lee better BA, more BB, more SO, better OBP
Konerko more RBI, more HR, fewer SO, fewer BB. That comparison makes me "not knowledgeable"?

And since when was the Giants clubhouse the standard for the industry?
One websites opinion on catchers follows. I am sure you have your opinion too, but it's not like I was out in left field saying he was a good catcher and an asset to the team. Whatever you think of TV announcers I have heard them say th esame thing about AJ.

14. Geovany Soto (Chicago Cubs) – Here’s hoping the slim fast diet worked for him. Fat and lazy could be words used to describe Geovany Soto’s sophomore season. The rookie of the year in 2008 is certainly hoping to rebound. But even in the wake of a dismal season he retains a career OBP near .350 and a slugging percentage in the upper 400’s.

6. A.J Pierzynski(Chicago White Sox) – The guy everyone loves to hate is good at his job. He’s a career .286 hitter, calls a great game, and averages 70 plus RBI’s a season. Sure, his only downfall is he couldn’t throw out your grandma going to second, but he’s also got some of the best baseball instincts for his position.
