July 6, 200322 yr I think Rios will pass through waivers and either go to Charlotte or tell the Sox he wants to be released.
July 7, 200322 yr That guy was no good; we are best rid of him, right? Rios struggled this year but he's a quality guy and there is no harm in having him in AAA. He does have good career numbers. I think things went south for him when JM wouldn't play him even after he was tearing the cover off the ball. Eventually he was trying to pull everything.
July 8, 200322 yr after he was tearing the cover off the ball. I wouldn't go so far as tearing. Maybe peeling
July 8, 200322 yr When Pittsburgh got him they had real high hopes. What a bust of a trade that was. They gave up Jason Schmitt. In his second game for the Pirates he tore up his knee and he's not been the same since. He lost the pop in his bat and what little mobility he had in the field. I think he's history.

I don't see Rios accepting an assignment to AAA.
July 8, 200322 yr Yeah, he was tearing the cover off the ball one week when he had two hits. Same time when Jiminez was making circus catches and running wild on the bases.
July 8, 200322 yr Funny how many guys don't pan out, but I agree it'd be OK to let him continue playing minor league ball in our system. He stunk on our parent club, however.
July 8, 200322 yr Like with Jiminez, it would be nice to get something for him. But, if not.... c'est la vie
July 8, 200322 yr The Cubs need a centerfielder. Man that would be the biggest lead foot OF outside of Comiskey
July 8, 200322 yr Man that would be the biggest lead foot OF outside of Comiskey And the sad thing I was just reading the Trib and they said one of the teams that could be looking at Rios is the Cubs
July 8, 200322 yr If that's the case, we should bend the Cubs over the barrel. Let's see ... we'll take ... ummm ... ummm ... ummmm ... Oh, never mind.
