“What have I seen from Rios? A lot of outs. The only batting ninth guy making $5 million was me. This mother [bleeper] is making $10, $12, $14 million, he ain’t going to be batting ninth [in 2010]. I’m going to make sure he earns his money. But right now I have to put him there because he’s struggling. Next year, if we have Rios batting ninth we’re in deep [crap] once again.”
Remember, Rios BABIP with the Sox: .182. THT says .185. I think statcorner uses MLB Gameday data, while THT use Baseball Info Solutions data.
