I agree with Rock and Jenksy on this one. You have to sell high.

Funny tweet I just read from a comedian I follow:

Is he supposed to be good? His stats look awful in his limited playing time.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) How about trying something new and dont completely take your legs out of your swing? His stance is ridiculous. Greg Walker is working closely on fine tuning his swing. Given our terrible offensive output this year, Walker is putting in overtime to ensure he's earning his paycheck.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Rios owed - 38 mil Sorryanal owed - 54 mil I understand the salary differential but at least Soriano can occasionally hit...even hits a few out of the park here and there. Rios is literally as good as an NL pitcher right now.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) "One player can't make much of a difference when your offense is this bad." "De Aza (or player ____) is not a savior." He doesn't need to make a huge difference or be a "savior", even a relatively small incremental help could put us over the top in this lousy division. He made the difference between a win and an infuriating 1-0 loss today, didn't he? Get it now, Ozzie?!?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) Yes, when you compare that one stat. But you also take into mind their age, defensive ability and actual dollars involved in their contracts. Rios has 3 years at roughly 12.5 per and Soriano has 3 years at 18 million per. Thats 15 million dollars more to take on an aging, broken down crappy DH. Not saying I'd want Soriano but Rios might be the worst hitter in baseball. No contact, no power, doesn't run to first. How can anyone think a team would be interested?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) That could be your deal. Before the Sox just eat the contract, I think they'll trade him for another underperforming, overpaid player elsewhere in the league. You might as well take a chance and see if a change of scenery for someone can make a difference before eating all that money. Similar to what the Sox did in the Borchard for Thornton trade....just on a larger scale. Do you even realize how awful Rios is? No one is even close to being that bad. Why in God's name would anyone want him on their roster? He is worse at the plate than most NL pitchers.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Not so sure about that. They are probably equally hard with Rios possibly being a little easier. .555 OPS vs .733 It's not even close. Rios is utterly useless.

3.5 back going into an off day. Offense still looks atrocious though.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) But I still don't believe in this team. They just can't hit... This

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) I still think you may see Rios traded before the end of the season Are you an alcoholic?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) Also, by having Dunn bat with runners on first and second, you took the shift out of the equation. It gave him a much greater chance to succeed in that at bat. Against a lefty? His only chance was walking and was fortunate to do that. We needed runs knocked in, not walks. Paulie is our best run producer.

God our offense sucks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) That wasn't nearly the worst part of this day or week. It's his handling of the Starters. Oh I know. It's just one of numerous examples.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) Meh, resulted in having the bases loaded with 1 out Taking the bat out of your most dangerous hitter's hands is a no-no.

4 more outs to go.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) BTW, great job of bunting last inning to take bat out of Konerko's hands and make Dunn face a lefty. Brilliant managing! How do the Guillen apologists not see how awful his in-game managing is?

Dunn with a 1.000 OBP today!

QUOTE (almagest @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) I wonder if Guillen is surprised that the Tigers are walking Konerko after the sac bunt? I'd say yes, he is surprised.

Take 3 Juan.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) You loved him in 2005 too. Don't act like you didn't. I also like The Office back in 2005. It's lame now.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Ah s***. Man I love Oz Why?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) Worst manager in baseball.
