Rios is the best hitter on this team. let's see if we can get to this BP.

Padres signed Quentin to 3 yr, 27 million dollar deal.

1. Dunn

One of the worst FA signings in Sox history, IMO.

Jh. Danks.

 

Yea sure the deal looks bad cuz of being hurt. Just the whole timing wasn't good.

Nice job Alex. You are the only one who hasn't been disappointing these past few weeks

 

 

I am thoroughly pleased with Alex Rios this year. You have to feel good for him too after some real bad years

Padres signed Quentin to 3 yr, 27 million dollar deal.

That's crazy. Absolutely crazy. What has he done to earn that kind of money?

He gets 100,000 bonus every DL stint first 2 years.

And that's why you amnesty it

So is reality finally setting in for this team? I've felt for weeks Detroit was going to go on a big run.

Since this thread is active, figured I'd get the most responses here: if you could amnesty one contract with the Sox right now, who would it be?

With all of the strikeouts and lack of at bats that actively contribute something to the team (moving over runners, fly balls to tag up, doubles, singles, etc) Adam Dunn is my choice. Rios and his crappy contract a close second. No way he's worth that much money.

That's a great deal for the Padres, IMO.

Yes it was.

So the replay showed it wasn't a HR?

 

nvm Yahoo updated it

Rios has been playing great all year, not sure what he's done to deserve to be amnestied...

Really? What has he done? 2008 was it.

If Martinez was not hurt this would of happened earlier.

C'mon Jordan, how about your 1st tater

Agreed

It's the poster child of a Kenny Wiliams wants. He has been drafting guys who project power and tools but the bat making contact with the ball is not one of the tools. All things being equal he would draft Borchard again.

I like Jordan Danks. He doesn't look scared at the plate.

I don't get all the hatred for Adam Dunn and his deal. You paid the guy to come in, hit home runs drive in RBIs and get a walk. You never should have had the expectation that he was going to hit for AVG or anything like that. Yes, he sucked last season but the guy is a league leader in Home Runs and walks this season. What more do you want from the guy?

Wow! Tyler Flowers got a hit!

Haa haaaa that struck me as funny for some reason.

Agreed

For me, it was the lack of production in previous years. And the remaining duration of the deal is problematic. It's a fixed cost that could put a damper on future plans.

Wow, nice job Flowers! Swing hard Gordon
