klaus kinski Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I got a hunch Rios will be traded for more depth before the 2011 no trade kicks in, unless he's devastating here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 06:24 PM) As I said before, I'm pretty sure this spells the end of Dye on the White Sox after this season. Thome as DH for 2010 with Konerko moving to DH in 2011 while Viciedo takes over 1B. It leaves us with the power lefty for next year PLUS the chance to see him crank out his 600th homer on our team. Â Konerko is not under contract in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Podsednik didn't really want to discuss the Rios move, but did say, "it would be a waste of energy to worry about lineups." Â Â Welp, good thing that's the manager's job and not yours. Â Â Â Dye, particularly, should not be shocked by this when his own defensive plays recently have prodded exactly this type of move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeNukeEm Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 These guys are professionals, and it'd be fairly selfish of Dye (or anybody else) to get angry over lost PT while there are players like Jim Thome on this team who appreciate the kind of efforts KW is making to put this team in a position to win it all.

Â If the Sox are willing to just spend and spend like this, what is there to dislike about it? Â Â Â I mean, I hear ya, it brings up worries. But just on its face, without hearing anything about future spending, how can it be a bad thing? Â The most we can say, at this point, is it may one day be bad.

chw42 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've already predicted his line for us next year. Â .299/.352/.512 OPS+ of 124 Â 27 home runs 78 RBI 84 R 23 SB Â ZiPS projects him to hit .285 for the rest of the year with a .350 wOBA. We shall see. Â Great move by Kenny to get him for nothing. Â Before I did some studying on Rios, I thought he was the most overrated player in baseball. Â But his career WAR is only 1.3 behind that of Curtis Granderson and both have had 5 years of ML service. It really opened up my eyes a bit.

Balta1701 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) I've already predicted his line for us next year. Â .299/.352/.512 OPS+ of 124 IF he can get that OPS+ back up in to the 120 range, he's back to being an all star and this is a spectacular move. If he can get it back up in to the 110 range, then he's solid and this is a good move. If he's stuck around 95 like he is so far this year, then this move loses some of its luster.

GoSox05 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A couple of reasons I like this. Â We don't lose any prospects and we won't have to get into free agent biding in the off season. Â We also get a CF. Â So long Wise. Thanks for the catch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
