Trendspotting: Vladimir Guerrero, Alex Rios
2008-06-08 12:10:00 I owe all of you a post. Friday is my normal "editorial" day, but this week I had to attend a graduation (as a side note, I congratulation any of our high school readers that may have escaped their confines). While I'd like to soon return to some economic analyses, I think these two players present a pertinent subject. In my Yahoo! league, I play with differentiated outfield, with one rightfielder, centerfielder, and leftfielder. Rios and Guerrero both offer right field eligibility, with the former also holding a spot in center. Vladimir Guerrero: I will be the first to admit that Guerrero is not the first or second round talent he once was. He's playing in his thirteenth season and is now a supposed thirty-two years of age. However, he's always been a consistent hitter for average and RBIs, and this year he's far off pace of his career numbers. Currently batting .251, he's seemingly floundering at the plate. There is cause for hope, though, in the fact that his .274 BABIP is n...

Line of the Day: Alex Rios
2008-05-02 01:59:00 Rios already has seven steals this year. He only had 17 total in 2007, and that was his career high (which he's obviously on pace to shatter). I bet Hoodlumman is thrilled.Alex Rios: 3-for-5, 2 runs, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 stolen base

Blue Jays Sign Alex Rios, Aaron Hill
2008-04-04 16:42:00 Surprise move by the Jays today - they inked second baseman Aaron Hill to a four-year, $12MM deal with club options for three years after that. The deal begins with the '08 season and then covers his three arb years. Orlando Hudson, a decent comparable, got about $12.8MM for a similar slice of his career. Sounds fair, and the options are a nice bonus for the Jays. The Jays also completed Alex Rios' six-year, $64MM deal. This is another fine contract for Toronto, as they get four of Rios' free agent years at a below-market price. The Jays have a seventh year option for Rios at $13.5MM, with a $1MM buyout attached. The contract includes a complete no-trade clause for the first two years and a partial thereafter.

Rios For Franklin Gutierrez and Cliff Lee?
2007-12-04 17:03:00 UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 10:03am: Per Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun: no match for the Indians and Jays on Rios. I knew Gutierrez/Lee didn't sound right. FROM 12-4-07 at 9:46am: Joel Sherman has a new column up with some fresh rumors. The Indians and Blue Jays are reportedly talking about a swap that would send Alex Rios to the Tribe for Franklin Gutierrez and Cliff Lee. Seriously? That seems like a lousy deal for the Jays. How long until a debunking on this one? The Jake Peavy signing is a cause for optimism as the Indians seek to re-sign C.C. Sabathia. As you know, the Cubs are all about getting a left-handed hitting right fielder, and Kosuke Fukudome is the best available. Adam Dunn was also on their radar (in right field??) but those talks died. Sherman says if the Cubs don't get Fukudome they could move on to Johnny Damon (in right field??). showad();

Who Is Alex Rios?
2007-07-10 19:53:00 Apparently the question posed by the title of this post was on a lot of minds yesterday. And that was even before Rios turned in a potentially star-making performance at last nights All-Star Home Run... Foul-mouthed, booze-loving and "smarter than you" fans of the Toronto Blue Jays follow their team's progress in the American League East.

2007-07-09 21:46:00 The best of Monday sports blogs around the internet, along with this picture of Christina Aguilera, which is one of my all-time favorites. I post this because she just announced she is pregnant, and will soon be a mom with a kid, which means she loses some of her hotness - until she gets old enough to be crowned a MILF. Anyway, enjoy...- Hilarious video/audio of a woman freaking out when her kid gets into a fight at a hockey game. Language is NSFW, so be warned. (100% Injury Rate)- The Homerun Derby is lame this year. Apparently, Alex Rios doesn't inspire confidence. (Winning the Turnover Battle)- Will LSU head coach Les Miles be the next coach at Michigan? (The Wizard of Odds)- The Dodgers sent PMS to the All-Star Game, literally. (Bugs and Cranks)- Broadcasters who have been in trouble with the law. Kirk Herbstreit really should have stayed away from that truck filled with button down shirts. (The Sports Hernia)- Eric Byrnes has a misshaped head, and he dives too much, but his on... |
