    He's not overrated ummmmmmmmmmm Now you're just making useless posts. I think he's overrated and you don't We've established that. You tried to play the "haha, i got you!" game by quoting two seperate posts, when really both posts pretty much said the same thing. That's rich. Calling my posts useless. Explain to me how he is overrated. You have told me that he is not a stud hitter, which he's not. And you understand that hitting is not the only part of a player's game. But, you don't get how he is undervalued

    ah yes the famous career OPS. When I evaluate a player, I use more than his age 23-25 OPS, sorry. i just used OPS because it was easies to post. his overall offensive numbers are pretty accurately displayed there. and ages 23-25? what about the last 2 seasons where he's failed to break .800? He hit for a .798 OPS last year. That's plenty good for a great defensive CF. This year, he has suffered from a BABIP 34 points lower than his career average (which I know you love). His BB/K has stayed pretty much the same from the last few seasons. I'll say this again... I never said he's a crappy player. I said he's overrated and not the rgeat hitter people make him out to be. A .798 OPS is fine, but it's not great. Hopefully you actually try and understand what I'm saying this time. I never said Rios is a bad player. Nice try. You said What I am saying is that he, not only is the most overrated player in baseball, but isn't even really overrated. If you don't want to listen to me, listen to dave cameron. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/rios-wells

    undervalued? rios might be the most overrated player in baseball Very few people are saying that he is worth his contract outside of a few places. So, there is no way he is the most overrated player in baseball. If he was so overrated, the White Sox would have had to send a token minor-leaguer or something. He is an OK hitter suffering from a little bad luck this year, but he plays excellent defense and plays center. Those are two very undervalued things in the game. I know you don't like UZR, but it has consistently rated him as one of the best defenders in baseball.

    I get what you are saying. But with our OF situation, Rios wouldn't make any sense.
  9. Vanilla Ice
    His defense must be incredibly stellar, because he's currently OPSing 110 points lower than Kosuke and they're making similar amounts of money. Or Kosuke is worth a good bit more than he's making. His defense is incredibly stellar and Kosuke is worth more than he is making this year
  10. Vanilla Ice
    No Yes Wrong and right
  11. Vanilla Ice
    He's actually a pretty undervalued player. This is a good move for the White Sox, IMO.
  12. Vanilla Ice
    Under
  13. Vanilla Ice
    Rios plays better defense, younger, and plays CF
  14. Vanilla Ice
    Well it also wouldn't hurt or cost anything for you to write Jessica Alba and ask her to go out with you. So why not go for it? You could meet her at a dance and be like all "Wanna dance?" as a joke and then she'd be like "Sure." Nice. I got that reference

    So yes, every game taxes the bullpen?
  16. Vanilla Ice
    No, it did not "burn" the bullpen, completely or in any other way. Six guys were available to pitch the next day (Guzman Marmol Gregg Stevens Heilman Grabow). By your logic, any bullpen that does not have a full complement of all seven arms available every single day is "burned". Complete and utter nonsense. You keep ignoring the main point over and over again. Thisis what you constantly do. You pick and choose which facts and points you want to9 include in your posts. You railor the facts to your argument. JUST BECAUSE A RELIEVER WAS AVAILABLE THE NEXT DAY DOESN'T MEAN THAT HIS INNINGS WERE IRRELEVANT. I'll say this for the THIRD time. Every inning on your bullpen this late in the season is relevant. Even to your crappy relievers. This is when bullpens wear down. Now let's see if you ignore it again. Was it Heilman's 1 inning or Grabow's 1 inning that put the bullpen over the edge? It was Samardzija's 4 innings. Seriously, by this logic every single game taxes our bullpen

    I don't really care at all whether Lou stays or not
  18. Vanilla Ice
    That game did not tax our bullpen

    erikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. how do you miss that
  20. Vanilla Ice
    This is one of the dumbest arguments Erik has ever come up with
  21. Vanilla Ice
    J.P. Howell
  22. Vanilla Ice
    Damn Soriano and his .759 OPS after the 7th inning
  23. Vanilla Ice
