They're pretty terrible stats. RBI's are basically useless. HRs and average tell some of the tale, but completely neglect doubles, triples, and walks which all are a huge part of the game.

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.
Yes, we've gone over this, but you've never clearly stated why Rios will never improve upon these numbers. I don't think he'll be more than a .875 OPS guy at best myself, but there's some pretty obvious reasons why. Not just because.
