Balta1701 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 09:27 PM) If Rios can put up a 700-725 OPS and play above average defense (2009-10 version, not 11), then it's a huge plus. Whether he will or won't do that, only the Shadow Knows. I'd bet that he could still give an average CF if he cared, and an above average LF. Happily, we can put De Aza into cf and move rios where he ought to be effective, if someone can make him care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Seriously, with all the SoxTalk "insiders" with their wisecracks, innuendoes and jokes, I share Milkman's concern that only about 50-75% of the site (and, in his case, my posts) is actually intellectually accessible.

Long as she doesn't look like the Jap version of wite, do it. She is very very cute, 170 cm, 48 kg, to American, model thin (I can't remember which poster here was in SHANGHAI last year, but I'm sure he remembers all the Louis Vuitton high society/fashionable women with black glasses, knee high leather boots, mini-skirts and thighs you can put Michael Jordan's hand all the way around)...like the typical idealized version of Chinese doll (cue David Bowie song). Great in sports, university-educated, amazing karaoke singer and classical dancer, runs a real estate office. The problem is that the more time we spend together...well, it gets more and more complicated. Yeah, she plans to move back to her home province when she has the baby and raise the child with the help of her parents...seems the husband is only in China 3-6 months out of the year. And only one sexual partner her whole life, so don't have to worry about the STD angle (have enough experience with that from my time in Russia, South Korea, Taiwan/HK/China, Indonesia, ESPECIALLY Thailand, Colombia and the Philippines!!!)
