Alex Rios - The Beast Awakens

Hit his 13th HR of the season today, AVG currently over .300

Potential GG winner with his rocket arm in the outfield, pretty good speed on the base-paths, and big-time power potential thats really starting to show.  A lot of people felt that his big-start last year was a fluke, but that doesn't appear to be the case at all.  He looks like he's quickly evolving into one of the best outfielders in baseball, his ability to completely destroy fastballs middle-in is incredible when you take into account that two years ago he couldn't seem to pull anything (the few HRs he hit were all to dead center field or opposite field).

Named to the team but couldn't play due to the staph infection.

Rios
I'm pretty sure that most of the people around here are aware of how I feel about Rios's talent.  I'll just bask for a post of two.
Rios is the next Juan Gonzales, thats right, I said it.
