July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 05:33 PM) Danny Knobbler tweeted scouts say Rios is playing with zero energy. The problem is he always appears that way.
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) I'm so glad you arent in charge greg.... greg is just praying that somehow the Sox get AJ back in a trade with the Rangers
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:33 AM) Danny Knobbler tweeted scouts say Rios is playing with zero energy. If I was a scout, I wouldn't care about Rios' energy in a meaningless game. You'd have to hope that being in a pennant race and the chance to make the postseason for the first time in his career would be enough motivation.

Maybe, but you aren't going to give up anything of significance to find out, and that is what matters for the Sox.

It's not like he's been a s***ty player for a team that has been out of it from the get-go

Teams can just review film from last year's 2nd half to see how he responded to a pennant race. If a team doesn't want him because of his energy, they probably weren't ever serious about him.

July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:55 AM) Rios for Ervin Santana? Why would Sox do that?
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) Why would Sox do that? Maybe a three-way deal
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) Why would Sox do that? If it was a 3 way trade, the Sox would get better prospects.
