They may not be the best stats but certainly aren't the worst stats and are the stats that most fans would use to tell if a guys is having a terrible season or not.

I am not going to get into another argument about whether a guy with Rios skills should be getting better or if the .819 OPS is that bad of a season from him because we have already had arguments about it and it is clear that we have different ideas on what type of hitters the Jays players.

From my view Rios has shown that he is not the type of player that will improve on those numbers and the drop is not all that much of a surprise from him.
