When you're coming into a situation where you don't know the players, doing what he did is definitely something that will get you off on the right foot with people. Most of us had heard about what a nice guy Jermaine was, but it definitely didn't hurt him coming into a new camp where everyone knew, 'Hey, this guy could have taken more money to play elsewhere, but he wanted to be here.
More Quotes from Paul Konerko:
On paper, it looks really good. But we still have to win our division, and then take out chances in the playoffs. If there's one thing I like, it's the pitching staff. I think that was the key for us last season. We have the potential to score more runs this year, especially with a proven guy like Jim (Thome) in the lineup. But with our pitching, they're not going to need a lot of help on most nights.Paul Konerko
We're not a team that is going to pound people to death and blow people out. Our games are always close. That's good, and it's bad. It's bad because it's a tight game every night, and you have to really work for nine innings. But it's good when you win because it throws a dagger in the other team when you win those close ones.

It's what Ozzie said from Day 1 of spring training 'You come to play every day. Whatever it is you do, do it the same way every day, ... 'I don't care what you did the day before, good or bad or what the team did the day before, good or bad. You do the same every day.' And guys latched on to it, and it's worked.

All year we had to listen to people out there ... telling us we didn't have the team to do this. I'm trying to think in my mind what would make people think we're a good team. The only thing I could come up with is, maybe we will have to do this one more time next year.

It's just a very good piece of software if you're a hitter. It shows you where you're at, but shows you where your swing is in comparison to where other hitters are.
