March 26, 200323 yr To be honest, Rios and Rowand are semi similar players. Maybe not in the way they play, but just in their situations. Rios had some potential, but never really got the opportunity and then Rowand is the same way. Neither are loaded with all the talent, but both do play hard and I can see both putting up very solid numbers. I think we'll see Rios and Daubach get more at bats then some expect, just because we'll Rowand time off on ocassions to bring in more lefty bats, etc. I love how deep the bench is. I hate having 3 catchers though.
March 27, 200323 yr I read someplace that Rios hit very well at the end of last year when he came back from the injury. I think he is a solid big league player.
March 27, 200323 yr What was that bit that Rosenthal said in one of his inside dishes that Rios was a clubhouse problem at times? Rios sounds like the exact guy we need in this case.....a guy that can hit for power, has decent speed, can play all 3 OF positions, and accepts his role as a role-player. I don't see any problem at all with him, atleast from this article.

March 27, 200323 yr Thanks for posting that link, 247. I didn't know much about Rios. That article was both informative and encouraging.
