Thome to White Sox

If you didn't get a chance to cheer/boo Jim Thome in Cleveland, it looks like you will now.
FoxSports.com is reporting that the Phillies have agreed in principle to send Thome to the White Sox for a package that includes outfielder Aaron Rowand.
The deal would send Thome back to the AL Central and guarantee 19 meetings a year between Thome and his old buds in Tribetown.
The only caveat for the White Sox is that Thome appears to be heading down the same injury-plagued road that caused Chicago to cut ties with Frank Thomas after the World Series. He missed a huge chunk of last season, and has chronic back problems.
But if the White Sox re-sign Paul Konerko, the first base-DH combo of Thome and Konerko in the heart of the Chicago lineup ... well, it's unsettling for the other four teams in the Central.
