“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.”

“Jesus is easily one of the brightest power hitting catchers in the game. But playing in Seattle definitely lessens what could be ELITE value. Jesus should be taken as a player that can easily approach 20 HRs now that Jaso and Olivo are out of town.”

 

“fences being moved in should help his power numbers”
