Rios and Wells both need to get their on base and slugging numbers up. At least a guy like Overbay is posting a .350 on base and close to .500 slugging. I can tolerate him batting 247 or whatever if those other numbers are there. But Wells .320 on base and like .430 slugging...no good.

That's a slippery slope, soon you'll be touting VORP and other such foolishness!
