If they acquire solid free agents they will also have to invest in more Fireworks.

Also, hopefully we can score better than Leury Garcia.

You were slamming me in that thread back then, but the numbers were with Pierre at the plate 13.5% of runners scored, with Dunn 13% for their careers at that point...it's all in the original we signed Dunn thread.

Well, I should have looked more closely at the stats. Of course, I don't think any team would consider hitting Pierre 3-6 in a lineup, but it's interesting.

This is the kind of stat that illustrates why OBP has limited value in indicating a player's offensive worth.

Well, I wasn't trying to claim Pierre was as good as run producer, only that Dunn was about as bad as you can get for 40 HR guy because he didn't put the ball into play half the time. It wasn't a well received argument I have to admit.

I don't let Rios go for nothing. In fact, I'd be asking for the same bounty I was before the deadline.

Nah, let him go. The Sox don't need a .270 hitter that steals 30 bases. It's loony land here. I realize lots of people don't like the guy here, but let's get real. You don't give that guy away for nothing in return. If you end up having to keep him, he helps next years team more than running Jordan Danks out there <shudder>.

To those so eager to give Rios away via waivers, just to dump salary, I ask: why the rush? The Sox have leverage here. How much is debatable, but leverage is what turns old players/overpaid players/expiring contracts/etc. into good returns in trades. At this moment, the Rangers need Rios much worse than we need to get rid of him. Leverage. Hahn should absolutely hold the line here and try to get some value other than just dumping salary.
Again, there's no rush. Even if the Sox end up in the position where there is no market for Rios and they just have to let him walk for no real return, that can be accomplished in the offseason. Scrambling to let go of our #3 hitter for nothing is a silly, emotional reaction. |

For a place so eager to bag on the Sox for pinching pennies, WSI sure has turned into a bunch of fiscal ****ing hawks. Give away one of our best hitters so we can save $3 or $4 million? It's like I don't even know who you people are anymore.
