ALEX RIOS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Will Matt Harvey Ever Get That Great Moment?
Alex Rios’ two-out infield single was the only thing that stood between Matt Harvey and a perfect game.

“Everything was obviously working,’’ Harvey told reporters last night....

The Numbers You Need to Win Your League

The first thing you do when preparing for your fantasy baseball draft is to find your baseline numbers. Seriously it’s the first thing you need to do. I’ve written about it before, but it bears repeating: you must determine a baseline goal before you draft. These are the stat totals you need to win your fantasy...
Rios' hard slide leads White Sox to crucial win
During his days in Toronto, Alex Rios heard critics claim that he didn't care enough and that he didn't play hard all the time. Blue Jays fans might want to watch the replay of the Chicago White Sox's 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday, as Rios continued to show that his laid-back attitude had been interpreted incorrectly. The outfielder had what could prove...
2011 seems long ago for Rios
Alex Rios quietly had a stellar first half, but the second half is now a little louder. The latest example of that came Friday night in the Chicago White Sox's 8-6, 10-inning win over the Los Angeles Angels, when Rios' second homer of the game was a walk-off shot. Rios is now hitting .318 with 18 homers, after looking like a bust last season, when he batted .227 with...

Anyone who watches baseball knows that closers are their own breed. Many of these guys are weird, and they aren’t afraid to show it.

According to MLB.com, Perez got the benefit of...

2012 burning question: Chicago White Sox
From yesterday's White Sox season preview...
Burning QuestionIs Alex Rios a five tool player, or a five cent player?
Here is the thing about Alex Rios: he's shown flashes of absolute brilliance in the past. He has three seasons of at least 30 steals, and two 5+ fWAR seasons. But there are a lot of factors about Rios that scare the hell out of me. He's only hit .300...

The Rios Grande
A funny thing happens when a guy underwhelms the season before, he becomes a value pick the year after. Whether it be because fantasy players have no mercy rule for busts or because they are just a forgetful bunch. I’m a perfect blend of both. So, it pains me a bit to be writing an article telling folks to draft...
