Just wondering if everytime someone calls you out on your whining you will resort to "well why dont you just delete it if you dont like it?". Keep muddying the point DA, you are very good at that. and with that, I am done with making my point.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 10:10 AM) Alex Rios' contract has no merit? I just stated facts. KW said he had a trade for a pitcher that could have made his rotation the best ever. He said they ran into a problem with an extension. These are facts. I said not having to owe $60 million to Rios probably would have helped with the extension. I also said maybe not, because it may not have been the extension. Perhaps Halladay or whoever it was just said no. IIRC, Halladay has a NTC. I also love how you rip me for speculating, then speculate yourself. As for spending, the White Sox have recently spent a lot more money on starting pitching if you break it down $/player than any other position. 2006 the only 2 players on the roster being paid more than the 5 starters were Thome and half of his salary was being paid by Philadelphia, and Konerko who was a post season star for a championship team. Konerko at that stage was owed about the same as Rios is right now. If KW was at least semi- prepared to make a deal with Halladay or whatever pitcher it was that was going to make his rotation the best of all-time in his words, I'm sure he knew it would cost a pretty penny not only prospect-wise, but money-wise as well. Adrian Gonzalez, if the Sox somehow get him, is going to be just as expensive, if not more if they want to extend him. Rios has a lot to live up to. Paying someone $60 million for 5 years is expecting he will perform a lot better than an average player. He needs to be better than the "well he's better than Dewayne Wise" thoughts. I don't see where 25 or so spring training ABs shows he's ready to live up to his end of the deal. I hope he does, but nothing has been answered yet. I'd bet the ranch if he was placed on waivers, he wouldn't be claimed. If he was making $1 million a year, he most certainly would be claimed. His contract has plenty of merit. What, you dont like when people b**** and moan about the same s***? Funny, me neither. And I never said Rios contract has no merit. I said your money complaining has no merit in the conversation, which was about Teahen's struggles, hence the name of the thread

In Jimbos defense, he has been absent for 5 days now, so it isnt as if he is ducking this thread because Kansas lost(or maybe he is )

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) if it makes everybody feel better, Chris Getz is hitting .154 with two extra base hits and Josh Fields .214 with one home run in 28 at bats. Looks like BA has hit his way into their lineup with his Cycle performance. And Pods ....375 with a .423 obp. None of this surprises me. BA was always a ST warrior

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) Maybe you can edit my posts for me. The point being, a team always worried about money, owes this guy more money than any player they ever have had. His performance has to be pretty stellar. They owe this guy for 5 years, and already scouts are saying he doesn't care. In the next 5 years the Sox are going to have to start paying some guys a lot of money. Someone very popular may not have a place on the team because of Alex Rios' contract. So he better be better than OK. Its very disconcerning if you ask me, and KW talking yesterday how he's a "surprise" because he looks good at the plate, is pretty revealing as well. Face it, if the Sox put Rios through waivers right now, even with the spring showing everyone he's better than ever, he wouldn't be claimed. Spring training is all about feel good stories. Hawk was praising Jenks yesterday, he was throwing well, his breaking ball was great, his calf wasn't a problem, until KW had to step in and say he was undergoing an MRI on his calf. And on the other side, there's no reason to fret over guys who aren't hitting that well or pitching that well right now. When the games count is when it matters. No I am not editing your posts for you, you are a big boy. The bolded is always your point and you fit it into arguments where it has no merit, all the time. You start with "His numbers have been declining" then go off into a tangent about who KW could of signed over the offseason, then back to numbers in spring training. Everything is disconcerning to you, and I still have yet to hear that the White Sox are nearly as concerned about their money situation as you are. In fact, you are the only one I have read that keeps saying they are concerned about money. Just because they operate under a budget doesnt mean they are constantly worried about money, despite what you think. The budget is still high and can maintain a competitive team. Your point with Halladay is moot, the trade never happened and it is still speculation as to who KW had. Halladay was probably looking for an extension that would match what Peavy will be making at the end of his contract, and no matter what Rios is making, I highly doubt KW wants to be spending 40+ million on 2 pitchers in one year. He doesnt work like that, he never has.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 08:32 AM) Rios has been trending down ever since he signed his extension. KW told Garfien he had a pitcher but couldn't agree to an extension. That pitcher supposedly was Roy Halladay. The $60 million Rios eats up probably would have help with the extension part. Maybe not. I'm certainly not going to get too excited by a few spring training AB and determine he's back and better than ever. I still have what many scounts have offered, that he doesn't seem to care since he signed that contract, in the front of my mind. He and Jones will have to perform well when the games count and the pitchers who deserve to be on a MLB mound will be on the mound using their entire aresenal, and although I don't think much of Teahan, its the same way with him. These outs and errors don't mean squat. The games don't count. I think everyone should be reminded Wilson Betemit hit 6 homers and had 18 rbi for the Sox in spring training last year. It doesn't count. DA, sometimes you are just ridiculous with your points on money. If you remove the bolded part your entire point is about performance, as it should be because that is what this discussion is about.

I have to imagine the overpopulation of deer in the area makes it very attractive for some of the top predators to come back to Illinois.

While I do not believe that it is the Rangers obligation to protect Hamilton from drugs, it is somewhat of a responsibility that they undertook when they took a chance on him. True, Hamilton is a grown(ass) man, but he very obviously struggles with addiction and probably needs something similar to what Aerosmith had back when they all kicked the hard drugs, which is a constant security detail that is there to protect you from yourself, not be your own personal bodyguard/buddy. This is probably something that should be provided by Hamilton, not by the Rangers. I think that Washington is a separate issue from that however. If Hamilton wanted access to coke, I doubt he would go to his manager and ask him for some, I am fairly sure he would know where to go. The problem I have with Washington is that he originally said "I tried it once", and now it has become "Well I did amphetamines and pot as a player too". I have no doubt in my mind that Washington has done coke for a long time, it may not be proven, but I highly doubt that he just so happened to try it for the first time ever in his life only to be told right afterwards that he had to pee in a cup. It is beyond ridiculous. I really do not know what the Rangers are hanging on to him for, it is a bad example to their FANS, not to Hamilton.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 19, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) I have been saying this for a while now. I personally don't want Q in the field possibly hurting his foot again, or any other injury. When Jones is in the line-up, he should be in CF, and Q DH's. When Kotsay is in the line-up, Kotsay can DH with Q in RF, or just leave Q at DH, and have Kotsay play RF. the problem is that he is hurting his foot running the bases, so keeping him out of the field doesnt really help

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 18, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Yeah, Predators looks like it may be totally over the top badass, the same way Aliens was as a followup to the original. I'll just pretend that none of the Predator films other than the first one exist and treat this one as the followup. Full Disclosure: I did like the first AVP, although Requiem had to be one of the biggest turds I've ever watched. I thought the first AVP was hurried, I couldnt believe they rating restricted it, and made the Predators look rather weak overall, but it wasnt horrible like Requiem was. I will watch the first AVP no problem.
