FACTS/FLUKES: Konerko, Buchholz, Perez, Bonifacio, Lind

Konerko's 2H raises flags ... When Paul Konerko's (1B, CHW) home run total dropped to 22 back in 2008, it looked like age-related decline. Four resurgent seasons later, the 37-year-old finds himself in a similar situation after a second-half power outage. Is it time to worry about father time?
