The Beast Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Rios and Stewart have been outrighted to triple A Charlotte. Rios refused assignment and became a free agent. Stewart was reinstated from the 15 day DL and with rest he could come back and be in contention for a 2004 roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 He left as he arrived - with no one caring and having done nothing for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsSuck1 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 That's just it. Rios did nothing. He had a few moments, not much you can do when you get so little playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 just glad to hear Stewart can -- and will -- come back he could help, at least in long relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 The one thing that always comes to mind when the name Rios pops up is that game where he just absolutely refused to bunt, possibly costing us the game. JM clearly told him to lay one down, and he just looked like a kicked dog up there with no intention of sacrificing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have released him immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 When I think of Armando Rios two things come to mind.... The first is when he came out to the media early in the season that he wasnt gettin enough starts...FIRST OF ALL, ARMANDO YOU ARE A BENCH PLAYER AT BEST...THE SOX HAD YOU PLAYING OUT OF POSITION AND YOU WERE LUCKY Aaron Rowand was still recovering from his offseason follies... And secondly...I remember getting in a message board fight with a guy on the ESPN message board who was trying to tell me Rios was an above average center fielder with alot of major league experience at the position...So after checking his stats i found out that He had started about 4 games at CF before coming to the White Sox...Needless to say argument ended quickly...
