    i don't get the hate for Rios. he cost them nothing but a paycheck

    he is a career 275 hitter that plays a solid center field.

    You must not watch much white sox baseball. He had one of the worst statistical seasons in baseball this year. And his defense wasn't even that great. He misplayed a LOT of balls in center field. Cost them a few games. Rios is one of those guys like JD Drew. It's obvious he has a ridiculous amount of talent, but can just never put it together. I blame Kenny more than Rios....that awful contract will prob cost the Sox Buehrle.

    Sorry for the rant...I just cant stand Rios. Hes been OK. He's just way overpaid....that part isn't his fault. He just signed the contract. Toronto was dumb enough to give that contract to him and The White Sox were even dumber to take that contract on.

    It just kills me that moves like this and Peavy are going to cause the Sox to lose a guy like Buehrle. I don't see Reinsdorf opening up the checkbook again this offseason after this year's debacle.

    fair enough.

    defiantly over paid for what he has produced.

    i feel like Buehrle will be back, but outside of that, i agree, i don't see Jerry spending much.

    i think the sox are closer to re-hiring terry "boom boom" bennington than terry F....i know francona was is the org in the 90s (managed MJ at AA Birmingham) but i dont see the sox ponying up the big $$ to lure him...plus, does he really wanna coach this average team?...

    Very bizarre. I still can't believe this is for real. I love Ventura as a player, but to hire him w/ no managing experience at all?? Very risky move.

    agreed...doesn't make a ton of sense.

    he could be a stop gap as they try and rebuild the team....i can see the sox getting BAD.

    If this trend of the veterans like Dunn and Rios playing like absolute shit and not getting much out of younger guys like Beckahm continues, it could get really bad. Combine that w/ losing at least a couple guys out of Buehrle, Danks, Floyd and Quentin AND a first time manager. Shit.
