He is good, but not at that price.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's all I'm saying. He doesn't suck, but at that price the Sox could have gotten more than a player of Rios' caliber in this economic environment, and especially when they are crying poor.

My only point is that they got him for free, IMO he is well worth that.

Sincere question: if he were a free agent today, would he get a contract like he has now? If yes, it was a great move. If not, it wasn't.
