SoxPride56 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) I [heart] Beckham. His defense has improved a lot in just the last month to six weeks. Hopefully that is a good sign. Tell me about it! Before I did not want him at 3B next year, now I kind of want him there, so we can focus on other positions in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) How is that different from Jenks? He has more than one pitch. He made 2 major mistakes. The first HR any of us could hit that out. You couldn't place that pitch any better on a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) The Sox arent trading Rios. 1) If Toronto could have gotten anything for him they would have. 2) The Sox (unlike their fans) generally dont just throw a player away after 1 bad season. They understand that players have good seasons and bad seasons, and not every player is slump proof. Rios is a major part of the Sox future, regardless of how many board experts disagree. Well, supposedly KW tried to acquire him before the deadline, so it seems they could have got something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet you if KW put Rios on waivers and someone claimed him, he'd be sucking back champagne at Market with JR within the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) I believe more and more everyday that the Rios move will be looked back upon as one of the 3 worst personnel moves in White Sox history someday. Rios needs this season to end quickly. If there's onesaving grace for him it's he can't possibly start any worse next season (can he?). Additionally, his woeful numbers happened during a stretch where the team collectively played themselves out of contention. Also, even if we lose this game, I'd like to see Dye get up to the plate one more time. I enjoy his failures.

I am guessing they want Toronto to pick up some money if we sent a player(s) up there. Either that or we were getting more players than just Rios included.

Harry Chappas Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think Rios will be fine next year. He will bat 6th or 7th and have no pressure on him. If Quentin is healthy, Ramirez, Beckham, Getz and Nix improve with experience and Konerko and AJ are close to what they ahve done this year, the Sox will be right there next year. I would keep Jenks as his value is low just not guarantee him the closers role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a couple of All Star teams, so he's no novice. Maybe he's stubborn. Maybe he is lacking desire like many scouts claim. Maybe he's just in a slump the size no one has ever seen before. He will eventually be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 lol KW and Co arent going to give away Rios. Did they trade Konerko after 2003? No. Im sure that they are frustrated that Rios didnt immediately turn it around, but Im also pretty sure that they knew this was going to take more time than 2 months. How long did it take for Contreras to turn it around? His first season with the Sox he had a 5.3 era. His next season was 3.6 era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he continues like he's been going the rest of the year, he will have the weight of the world on his shoulders beginning opening day 2010.
