The Chicago White Sox should be closer to the division lead than they currently are. One of the big reasons, Alex Rios. He is hitting .215 with 8 homers and 32 runs batted in. He has 23 walks and 54 strikeouts and 52 runs scored.
Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has moved him up and down the lineup throughout the year, nothing has sseemed to worked. He is hitting .280 with 0 homers and 4 runs batted in, in the third spot in 25 at bats. He has the most at bats and homers in the sixth spot in the order this year. The only problem is he is only hitting, .185 from there with a .506 ops. That is not good
anyway you look at it.
Even looking at different situations he is really still not getting the job done and should be on the bench. His highest batting average in situations is with nobody on, where is hitting a whooping .229 with 5 homers. With runners on, he is hitting .194 and with them in scoring position he is hitting .176. With the bases loaded he doesn’t have a hit in 11 at bats.
