He was .798 last year. His contract is grossly out of proportion with current baseball economics. - David Aug 7, 16:59 17

- I don't see how $10M per is all that atrocious for an Alex Rios. - TFox Aug 7, 17:00 15
  - 10mil last offseason could have gotten you Adam Dunn or Raul Ibanez. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 7, 17:10 6
    - Make Rios a free agent this offseason, what do you think his annual contract value would be? Not less than $8M, no way. - TFox Aug 7, 17:12 5
      - Pat Burrell got $8 million a year. His career OPS is .844. - David Aug 7, 17:15
      - (Or, put another way: someone claimed him, so someone is obviously perfectly fine taking on the commitment.) -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 17:14 3

        Someone traded for Jeff Francouer, too. -- nm - David Aug 7, 17:16
  - Career wise, he's subpar in OBP, average in OPS and is getting paid like a superstar. - David Aug 7, 17:02 7
    - He's getting Gary Matthews Jr money. We can agree for you to be wrong. -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 17:04 5
      - I actually scoffed at how unaware your first post was. - David Aug 7, 17:07 4
        
        I found this list of the 44 worst contracts in baseball, and didn't see him on it. -- (link) - TFox Aug 7, 17:08 3
        
        From March 3, just as timely as your nonsense opinion. - David Aug 7, 17:11 1
        
        My team would be the bomb in Phantoms, yo. -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 17:13
        
        don't make david go 5P on your ass -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 7, 17:10
