“It is never good to fall in love with patterns. But Alex Rios and his power has been up one season/down the next season throughout his career. He is coming off of an amazing 25 HR/23 SB season, while hitting over .300, and there is a good chance he repeats these numbers again in 2013. The plan is to hit Rios 3rd everyday in the White Sox order, which should lead to an easy 100 RBIs. Something Alex has never done in his 9 year career.”

 
 

“Murphy's a bit of a value pick for your bench. He gets enough hits and scores enough runs to keep you from dropping him.”
