rios is waay better than dejesus, any team would take rios over dejesus. ....how come we have a royals fan on soxtalk??

 

We have Twins and Tigers fans too. And they're all good posters, including HM, so I'd lay off him. But the DeJesus/Rios comparison is a bit out there.

Rios has better tools but DeJesus is a pretty darn solid player. If you factor in contracts it would be a more interesting discussion, straight up I'm taking Rios, mainly because of his defensive abilities and upside potential.

no, nothing wrong with that. but me being a sox fan, i wouldnt be a poster on a non sox board, esp twins, tigers, etc boards. he wouldnt want rios just bcuz the 60mil too lol oh how the royals have gotten the fans to think the same loljp :) oh, btw, besides last yr, dejesus' numbers every year are very avg and he doesnt steal enough bases considering he has pretty good speed. nice player but rios is still better

Agree. DeJesus is a nice player, but he's a left fielder who doesn't wow you with speed or power or anything really. He's a smart hitter who is hard to retire and he hits a lot of balls hard, and he gets on base, but he's a complimentary piece IMO, while Rios at his pre-2009 production level is a core player you're supposed to build around.
