Even with all of the bashing of Rios, he's not the worst with Runs-In-Scoring-Position:

Every time the Jays get a runner in scoring position, the hitters start turning their bat handles into piles of sawdust. As a team, they are hitting .236 with runners in scoring position. In all other situations, they are hitting .272. And it's not just one or two or three players. It's everybody, especially some of the hitters who are supposed to deliver in those situations.
Overbay is hitting .176 with runners in scoring position. Alex Rios is hitting .219, Scott Rolen .195, Matt Stairs .190. The only player hitting over .300 with RISP is David Eckstein.
