If that is the point then sure I guess that is true. Although he isn't exactly getting a lot of tough competition there.

You do understand that a lot of moneyball GMs use the very same sabermetric systems to evaluate talent? If these stats are bull, then Billy Beane is a loser, and Boston is a poorly managed franchise who got lucky - twice.

I do understand that they use it and I won't say that Beane is a loser, but he sure isn't much of a winner and Boston has won twice using many guys that don't fit in with their so-called money ball approach.

For all this hating on Rios, I haven't seen you provide any other options. Keep Wells and run Lind-Wells-Snider w Bautista..... If you think you have seen bad D this year...

I am not sure that it is "hating" on Rios and since I haven't ever said get rid of him I am not sure why I would provide other options.
I agree with those that say that you have to keep Rios at this point because there is no better option out there and no real chance that some team is going to make a deal for him that is worthwhile for the Jays.
