Konerko got off to a bad start his first two years and then started hitting when he went to Chicago. He had a 120 OPS+ with the White Sox which is right about what Vaughn is doing this year (122). Konerko lasted a long time and had a couple of big years, but he wasn't a big star. Torkelson might never hit, but hoping he hits like Konerko some day is not outrageous.
