Alex Rios is a player that the Toronto Blue Jays have said recently, because of Roy Halladay’s contract being up after next season is expendable. I am a big fan of Rios, not for his five tools, but for the statistical value he gives to your team. He is a well built outfielder, who can hit for power, and hit, as well as run which is something we could use at the leadoff spot.
He is having a bad year, with 9 homers and 37 RBI, and his line is .260/.316/.417, which is not good, but he is capable of better as 2 out of the last 4 years he had an OPS of .850. His K/PA ratio is 1K/6.38 PAs, his career is 5.92, so he is not striking out as much, and his BABIP is .287, and his career BABIP is .324. He has walked 24 times, and has been struck out 55. His walks are way down, they should be a little higher, and the OBP would be where it should be.
He is not walking this year, but if you put him on the Mets now, he would be tied for the team lead with 9 home runs. He could play right field, or left (and even center in Beltran’s absence), and cover a lot of ground, and hit for some power

I like this idea. HE is under contract until 2014, but I can't decide if this is good or bad. He could turn out to be a bust and we'd be stuck with him. But he is available for cheap so I say go for it.
