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

        at the "risk" of taking on the contract. -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 17:37
      - 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
