An optimist would suggest that Alex Rios has busted out of his horrific slump since being moved from the 3rd slot in the order to the 6th. After all, since the demotion of sorts, he's gone 7 for 12 for a .583 clip, blasting two home runs and adding 4 RBI. He has made 2 all-star teams. And has ...
Rios & Wells fail again
torontobluejaysway.blogspot.com 5/20/2009 — I understand that both Alex Rios and Vernon Wells aren't as awful as myself, and plenty other Blue Jays make them out to be, but Tuesday in the much hyped affair against the Red Sox, their inability to come up huge on the big stage reared its ugly head once again. Down one run in the 8th ...
Rios != Wells
fangraphs.com 7/9/2009 — Thanks to the declaration that Roy Halladay is available, the Blue Jays roster has been thrust into trade speculation in the last few days. Yesterday’s surprising release of B.J. Ryan, who had $15 million left on his contract that ran through ...
Maybe Vernon should take up golfing
bluejayhunter.com 6/14/2009 — Another game, another day where Vernon Wells goes hit less. It's a pattern that we've seen all too often lately and despite being moved up in the batting order, Wells is still a huge hole in the Blue Jays lineup. Each time Vernon Wells strikes out, the Toronto Blue Jays have paid him ...
Alex Rios is the Windmill
taoofstieb.blogspot.com 6/5/2009 — If you could harness the energy of Alex Rios swinging and missing - as he did five times in five at bats in yesterday's 6-5 heartbreaker to the Angelenos - you could power the six blocks surrounding the Dome. (And somewhere, Alex Gonzalez was rooting for the game to go into extra innings so ...
Alex Rios is a buffoon
torontobluejaysway.blogspot.com 6/17/2009 — I've thought Alex Rios has been a bonehead this season countless times, and has been an awful player, but last night's base running gaffe in the 8th inning takes the cake for the dumbest screw up he's made all year. In the 8th inning, with the Jays trailing 3-2, they have the bases juiced with ...
Alex Rios: Ole!
babeslovebaseball.com 6/5/2009 — Alex Rios went o-for-5 Thursday with not four, but five strikeouts in the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. In the unforgiving world of baseball, we call that a platinum sombrero. This is his second career five-strikeout game, which is pretty tough to accomplish.
Alex Rios is as good as Ben Francisco. Who's that?
sportsprocentral.com 6/6/2009 — Alex Rios gets paid $6.4 million a year. Among the biggest wastes of money on the Blue Jays roster. Some reason every media idiot and baseball pool mag projects this guy to be a .300 hitter/30 HR/100 RBI guy, but if you look at his stats, none of his years come close to that except for 2007.
