PrintUpgrade to Windows 7 completed. Time to roll out another community projection. This time, Alex Rios.
After getting off to a slow start, Alex is having himself a pretty nice spring, hitting over .300 and slugging over .700. Most importantly, he seems to be seeing the ball much better than in his brief run with the White Sox in '09, striking out only twice.

I'm pretty sure most of you will have Rios posting better numbers than the .530 OPS he put up in his time in black, but just how far do you have him rebounding? Can he reach his former All-Star level of production?

I have him slightly exceeding his 2008 numbers, which is entirely possible.
Plus, a full season of the Greg Walker experience will surely get him back to All-Star levels.

I've got him about .20 points lower in BA and OBP
but even in SLG

damn, i'm praying that you're wrong on that OBP.
if he could be league average in OBP, then i think everything would be good on the rios front.
Cashing checks and having sex.
Damn
even if he “only” rebounds to his 2008 totals, he’s a 4.5-5 WAR player (I’m cutting down on his stellar defensive numbers, which might very well be unfair and arbitrary). Was Rowand even 4 WAR in 2005? (Looking it up — no, not event the Legend was 4 WAR in 2005.)
His bounceback is easily more important than Quentin’s. If Quentin proves to be nothing more than a bad defensive slugger who can’t stay healthy, that certainly sucks for the Sox but the Sox are still on year-to-year deals with him as opposed to $50 million over five years (or whatever it is).
i'll take cautious optimism for the win
.280/.340/.450, +0/150 CF ~ 3 WAR
I'd rather have Rios steal 50 bases than hit 50 home runs. I want production.
thats what I did
I tried to be more pessimistic than the others
although I did give him 50 stolen bases

you can change the bases if you want cheat, that part was in jest

i think i had something around
.290/.350/.480 with 22 hr, 22 sb, 36 2b… dunno how that exactly works with the triple slash… i’m guessing it probably doesn’t.
Doesn’t seem very moral to me. Might as well take Satan’s autograph while you’re at it. - N.C.
Update, 3.0 IP.
10 hits, 4 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR.
This guy fucking stinks.
cut him

but that Jenks fatass pitched a clean inning and was supposedly hitting 94

and Santos is topping him in the high-90's

only threw 8 pitches.
i assume the reason he threw so few pitches was due to lack of conditioning. mid-season bobby is unable to get out of an inning without throwing at least 20. saving himself.
ship him to SF to join the other fatso's

Peavy threw 74 pitches in the game and another 21 in the bullpen to get up to 95. Said of the 74 he threw against KC, 71 were fastballs.

no, no, no.
that’s exactly the problem. if you throw 95% fastballs, they are going to start looking for it. no, he’s doing it all wrong. he needs to mix it up with other pitches.
Cashing checks and having sex.
What, like a slowball?
Why would you throw slow when you can throw fast?

they have pockets for everything!
I'd rather have Rios steal 50 bases than hit 50 home runs. I want production.
hey now thats not true.
i endorse gordon beckham and jake peavy fully…. Ron Kittle is my all time favorite player… LaMarr Hoyt and Bobby Thigpen are my favorite starter and reliever!

I went pretty low in raw numbers due to my distrust of Ozzie's use of CFers
So I only had Rios with 525 ABs.
Oh, and MLBAT2010 has finally activated Gameday.

This is probably the most optimistic of my projections so far
about .290/.345/.470.
You guys win. You can keep your little marked-out piece of internet territory. Spend your days communicating via keyboard with people too ugly for the real world and too nerdy for anyone to care, anyway. Your piece of land is here. Do the rest of civilization a favor and stay within its limits. You bore me. Have fun with your nightly sobs and screams into your pillow over your inability to attract a good mate, Radiohead. ~The Hooligan
your guy Mitchell is out for the year, so take it easy on our only legit CF'er

Other than avg. (which we know is indicative of nothing)
2008 was a pretty significant slide from ’07. The trend is not your friend here.

"The trend is not your friend here."
Cute saying. It might apply to the markets.
stop it no it wasn't
2006 wOBA .365
2007 wOBA .368
2008 wOBA .350
That is not significant. This has been debunked a few times.

Add 2009.
Looks like he plateaued in 2007. 5% reduction in ‘08, disasterous ’09. I don’t think he’ll keep falling, and is due a rebound, but back to almost ’07 is awfully optimistic. On what do you base this?
Also, do you agree on the ’Druw/Edmonds deathmatch?

yes its on
bring it
