Rios' fast start in 2013 is in line with the rebound campaign he had last season, but he's also showing improved plate discipline (9:11 BB:K) through the first 20 games.","date":"Wed Apr 24"},"fullName":"Alex Rios","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Rios has the reputation of being an every-other-year player, with 2013 slated to be a down year, but Rios' struggles in 2011 are more likely to be an outlier than the off year in a trend. Rios' contact and line-drive rates that year were in line with career norms; he was just snakebitten with a low BABIP that affected his overall production. That said, last season everything went right, as Rios set career highs in both BABIP and HR/FB, so normal regression should be anticipated. Still, this presents a buying opportunity since the market likely will depress Rios' value more than it should. If Rios sits atop your cheat sheet, don't be afraid to pull the trigger. The every-other-year label is unwarranted.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":6.9,"playerRater15DAY":3,"positionRank":11}
