August 14, 200916 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) rios is waay better than dejesus, any team would take rios over dejesus. ....how come we have a royals fan on soxtalk?? We have Twins and Tigers fans too. And they're all good posters, including HM, so I'd lay off him. But the DeJesus/Rios comparison is a bit out there.

But the DeJesus/Rios comparison is a bit out there. Rios has better tools but DeJesus is a pretty darn solid player. If you factor in contracts it would be a more interesting discussion, straight up I'm taking Rios, mainly because of his defensive abilities and upside potential.

DeJesus is a nice player, but he's a left fielder who doesn't wow you with speed or power or anything really. He's a smart hitter who is hard to retire and he hits a lot of balls hard, and he gets on base, but he's a complimentary piece IMO, while Rios at his pre-2009 production level is a core player you're supposed to build around.
