Alex Rios To White Sox!
How about that, sportsfans? Also: odds this gets up before anyone else's is like 1 in 3.
EDIT: Apparently UG, larry and Cheat are all dead. Anyway, in case you were wondering about the contract:
If 1 WAR is worth 3.5M (and pre-economic crash it was 4.4M) that means a 3 WAR player is worth 10.5M per year on the open market. His contract valuation is about 11.5M on average over the whole of the contract (that doesn't pro-rate '09). As Matt pointed out, there should be some inflation over the life of that contract, so the difference in the numbers is basically negligible.
And in case you were wondering what kind of "down" year he's having, let's check the following math. The conversion from RF/LF to CF is 10 runs and he’s a career 14 UZR150, which suggests he’d be a +4 CF. To continue WARring:
0 BRAA+ 4 FRAA + 2.5 pos adj + 20 rep = 26.5 RAR or ~2.5 WAR over 150 games. The Sox will get him for 1/3 of that 150 games. In 2009, UZR has the Sox at 9.6 FRAA per 150 games. I am somewhat skeptical of that to say the least, but it almost doesn't matter as White Sox CFs have managed a pathetic .269 wOBA, good for -23 BRAA, dead last in all of baseball. Through 100 games, that's basically replacement level. So adding Rios should be worth nearly a full win (.833).

For Free(aside from the contract)
Great move by Kenny.
Sox were going to be paying the contract either way.
I don’t think there was a chance Toronto would eat any of it. That’s why he was there in the first place.
that doesnt make any sense
option a or option doesnt exist?
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
not your money, dont worry about it.
What comparable CF would have been out there for the taking that we could have gotten?
what kind of discount would you expect from 12M with a few crap 'spects?
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
One of the worst contracts in baseball.
But a big move by Kenny, showing he wants to win!
Nice pickup guys.

Fun little Time waster!
no and yes.
no. not close to one of the worst contracts in baseball.
yes. kenny wants to win.
it is what it is......
OF contracts worse than the one for Rios:
Alfonso Soriano
Milton Bradley
there are more not on your team but you get my point.

Then Tell me who next years leadoff hitter is.
If you are on board with Pods coming back next year, then you need to hop off the 2005 train and come to reality. He is too much of a liability in the outfield and has been absolute garbage this past month. I rather have Getz, who is pretty much the slower version of Podsednik, who can at least play defense then have a pie thrower playing either LF or CF next year.
fairly certain colin is as far from wanting pods back as it gets

by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
youre right about Pods
but Getz leading off this year so he can be better there next year is outrageour, ridiculo, OUTDICULOUS!

if you aren't going to follow my posts, you could at least assume i'm smart enough
to not want Pods back.

anyway, leadoff is a non friggin issue.
the research shows you if you put your best five hitters at the top in some order, the marginal difference between that and an optimal lineup is negligible. so seriously. read more.

Sorry for not having the colintj widget installed on my computer
but this season has shown that this teams needs a player that can get on base and is quick. I mean, we were desperate enough to even call up Pods right? Of course this argument is pretty pointless, since this will be Dye’s last season in RF if he remains in Chicago and i for one would be shocked if Kenny doesn’t obtain a corner outfielder that can leadoff.

initial reaction:
this is fantastic. rios is having a down year so far, but he’s an awfully good player. (defense!). can’t believe the sox got him on a straight claim. as far as the contract, it’s not that bad. it’s also not my money.
it is what it is......
You'd think at the rate that we've been improving next year's season already,
the crowd attendance will be much higher than this year which will be a nice break on the team’s financial concerns.

Sarcastic I get it. All I’m saying is that homers are harder to hit in the pros with wood bats than aluminum bats
Carlos Guillen, the Latino Nick Punto
I respectfully agree.
I’m just saying he’s done well enough bringing his average over – the homers will come. Plus he was going 10 games per homer when he hit his 6th – which is great for a rookie.

It was just as easy for all the other players as it was for him, and he beat them all it.

Enjoyed this comment on MLBTR...part about the offseason so true
There must an arrest warrant out for Kenny Williams by now. I really don’t get how the Jays can just give a 28 year old OF hitting his prime with 20/20 potential. What else is Ricciardi going to do to address the team???? There are no outfielders on the market this offseason even close to as good as Rios is. This is why the Jays are perennial basement dwellers.

Sure there is
Rios can handle CF for 2010. Why not? And if his bat doesn’t bounce back, that 91 OPS+ looks a helluva lot better in CF than in RF.
I haven’t looked at Rios’ batting stats very closely this year. Has he been BIP unlucky this year? The three-year OPS+ decline is somewhat worrisome, no?
I agree. I'm saying JD/Thomer/Pods/Rios don't all fit if Q is in LF/DH.
And I have to think Rios stays until 2011 at least.
We’re a pack of a-holes. And my tradition of contributing absolutely nothing to this site... continues.
Is this really that complicated?
2009 – Q, PodsRios, Dye. Rios is also Q insurance.
2010 – Q, Rios, Dye. Pods (or whoever) as 4th OFer, Thome at DH.
2011 – Q, Danks?Mitchell?FA?, Rios. ____ at DH.
You are platooning Pods this year in CF?
What the hell for? He is a huge defensive liability.
We’re a pack of a-holes. And my tradition of contributing absolutely nothing to this site... continues.
I wouldn't do that if I was managing
I’m saying what I think is likely to happen. Do you disagree? I also think Ozzie will be a little more liberal in resting both Dye and Q with Rios — a legit OFer — on board.
I disagree vehemently.
Pods is like Mac out in CF. No better than GS. We finally have a legit CF. You play him. Pods plays 1x/every 2 weeks out there, maybe.
We’re a pack of a-holes. And my tradition of contributing absolutely nothing to this site... continues.
You still don't seem to be understanding me.
I’m in complete agreement with your last post. I just don’t think Ozzie is going to be so quick to cast Pods aside.
I don't.
OK, this is a risk:
1. Rios is an actual CF. We’re paying a boatload of $ for him. He’s Hispanic, fast, and owns a glove he can use. His arm is masculine.
2. Pods is not a CF, has a great looking wife (Ozzie’s wife is jealous), is white, and has not been introduced to his CF glove. His arm is a wet noodle.
Rios. He plays the rest of the year.
3. Pods turns into a pumpkin soon.

I don't think anyone was saying rios would ever sit.
maybe, but I don’t think so. I’m saying pods can play plenty when Q and JD (and maybe Thome + someone else DH) sit.
getting closer
Q! DH vs lefties
-Pods gets to play
Dye gets a blow here and there, Pods plays
maybe once, Pods in cf, Rios sits

you think Q and JD will get 1 rest combined every two weeks?
JD has sat like 3 times since Kotsay came up alone. I gotta think up to twice a week between the two.
I like this. my thoughts exactly.
why get rid of any of them? Rios is a good center fielder. He can hang out there for another year.

Agreed, plus
Kotsay gives the versatility of playing 1B and we dont exactly have anyone that can do that on the roster other than him . . . he isnt going anywhere.
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
and there's more
Podsednik didn’t really want to discuss the Rios move, but did say, “it would be a waste of energy to worry about lineups.”
you know what... fuck scott podsednik. He did a fine job for us this year
but for these people to put this much stock in this guy… and watch him out in centerfield miss another god damn fly ball… it is ridiculous. Alex Rios is a LEGIT center fielder. We haven’t had one of those in a long time. I think Kenny sees a golden opportunity to dominate this division for the next 5 years and is hoping on it like BA on a blonde with big hooters.

This is fucking fantastic, we made a MAJOR upgrade to talent (a 3 WAR player) and didn’t have to give up ANYTHING – not one lousy A ball pitcher, not one single draft pick.
Dese keed is 28, he gives you a league average bat, has +speed, and he goes a long way to addressing the biggest weakness on the team – the defense. All that for only $10mm a year, of which we have plenty of money to spend.

For you youngsters listening at home...
The White Sox acquired outfielder Alex Rios from the Blue Jays on Monday, when Toronto awarded a waiver claim placed last week. Chicago assumes responsibility for the remainder of Rios’ current contract.
Following Major League Baseball’s July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, teams need to pass a player through waivers if they want to try to deal them to another club. It is not uncommon for every team to expose much of its roster to waivers in order to gauge interest from around the league. Players acquired before Sept. 1 are eligible for postseason rosters.
If a player is claimed by another organization, a team can either pull the player off waivers, let the claiming team add him to its roster or discuss a trade with the claiming club. In Rios’ case, parting with the underperforming right fielder was a way to shed salary for a Toronto club that has slipped to fourth place in the American League East.
Rios — a two-time American League All-Star — is signed to a seven-year extension worth nearly $70 million that runs through the 2014 season and includes a $13.5 million club option for ‘15. Rios is under contract for $5.9 million this year and is scheduled to earn $9.7 million next year. Over the 2011-14 campaigns, Rios’ salary jumps to between $12 million to $12.5 million annually.
This season, the 28-year-old Rios has fallen below expectations, hitting .264 with a .317 on-base percentage, 14 homers and 62 RBIs in 108 games for the Blue Jays. Toronto’s top outfield prospect, Travis Snider, who is currently with Triple-A Las Vegas, has the ability to play right field.

I wonder if this acquisition comes with any JR mandates
I think I remember hearing some mumbo jumbo about JR telling Paxson that he would only approve the Brad Miller/John Salmons deals last season if Pax assured him they would make it out of the first round of the playoffs.

Good news: We now have the money needed to re-sign Doc in 2010.
Bad news: JP Riccardi is still our GM, so in all likelihood, we won’t re-sign him anyways.

I didn't read all 500 comments but....
I agree with any one who said this move is more about 2010 then it is 2009. (like Peavy)
I like the move a lot. I say JD is surely gone since his salary is more like Rios’ salary. Thomes salary was picked up almost 50% by Philly.
noone said those things
we were mostly talking about the lead-off position

Economy is recovering
A lot of economists saying the job losses will probably turn around in a few months.
If the Sox make the playoffs, they could easily go > $100 mil next year with the added revenue.
fucking dome
looks like there's still room for a CF
Everyone here assumes Rios will play CF for the Sox, but he’s only played a handful of games there in his career – and he’s one of the best defensive RF’s in baseball. We already have enough players playing out of position or getting juggled (Beckham, Ramirez, Podsednik, Nix), and are suffering severely for it defensively.
I’d just as soon see JD gone next year and put Rios in RF and use the budget surplus to go out and get a real CF this winter – maybe a 1 or 2yr stopgap like Cameron till we find out if Danks or Mitchell can play.
"It was like everything was slow motion," Wise said. "I stuck my hand out so slowly and was able to make the catch."
