July 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:25 PM) With Ricky Weeks on the team, yes he does. Ricky Weeks just went on the DL. Why are you such a Negative Nancy today? Jeez.

July 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) If we don't like Juan Pierre now, why the hell should Brewers fans like Juan Pierre Junior? morgan: 66 g, .319, 3 , 23, 400k rios: 97 g, .208, 6 , 23, 12m yea they should be thrilled to have rios

If they asked for Beckham in the deal, obviously they will have some problems when Weeks gets off the DL Maybe they feel he can play 3B or SS? Or perhaps they feel Weeks is playing himself right out of an affordable contract? Silly to dismiss.

Silly to dismiss. I think that is crazy, but I really don't believe this one at all. Literally no one else has picked it up.
July 29, 201114 yr And he continues to ignore my questions - for the last 48 hours I've been asking him WHY the brewers would EVER WANT rios. He says nothing.

If the sox were picking up a large share of the contract it might be worth a risk. If I went back and bumped the original rios thread here I'm sure most people though hed recover to his earlier success.

He's trying to play if off. $50 says he'll say something like "Negotiations were very close, deal almost happened, but #Brewers nixed deal, demanded Beckham." And anyone with a brain will know what really happened, and where he stands on the Twitterpole in the Twitterverse.
July 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) morgan: 66 g, .319, 3 , 23, 400k rios: 97 g, .208, 6 , 23, 12m yea they should be thrilled to have rios When Nyjer Morgan has a season where he has an .360+ wOBA while playing great defense in a full-time role, call me. As bad as Rios is this year, he still has the talent and potential to be a good player. Nyjer Morgan is what he is, a Juan Pierre duplicate. Edited July 29, 201114 yr by chw42

As bad as Rios is this year, he still has the talent and potential to be a good player. Nyjer Morgan is what he is, a Juan Pierre duplicate. I'd just like to say that I enjoy your posts. Rios is what others thought he was but what I at one time insisted he wasn't, and that's the CF Javy. And unlike Nyjer Morgan, both of those players, as maddening as they can be, have the ability to do some very nice things on the baseball field when they're not too busy staring at their colons. In theory, someone would want to take a shot at Rios, but right now, we'd have to eat so much money to get someone else interested that there's almost no way we could do anything that makes sense for the Chicago White Sox. We're not here to help out the Brewers with free lottery tickets.

July 29, 201114 yr I would just like to point out it's RickIE Weeks, not RickY. Must be all you Teahan fans out there.
July 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) Hate to see Escobar go. I would too. But if he's a piece that prevents the Sox from having to pick up such a huge chunk of Rios salary... If the Sox could get off paying around $18M of the remaining on Rios that would be golden. But again....hate to see Escobar go.

You give him up if it means we can rid ourselves of Rios and his contract.

I'm pretty sure Escobar is just a total nobody who had a hot season in winterball and turned some heads. Nothing he had ever done indicated that he could hit at all. I'd personally love to sell high on him.

July 29, 201114 yr You don't think its possible? A joke on the rest of us while he sits and watches, laughing his ass off?
July 29, 201114 yr Rios in a trade? ya right this guy is gonna haunt us every last minute til his contract is up.
