I would love to say your welcome but it didn't prove your point at all. So I guess I will give you a half-hearted your welcome.

Stats that show Rios as an elite fielder would include those occasional mental errors depending on the final outcome. If Rios fumbles a ball and there's an extra base taken because of it, the stats will include that.
It's funny because all you can think of watching Rios is mental errors. But think to yourself how often do they really happen and how big of an impact do they really have on the season. Nowhere near enough to over-ride his ability to make defensive plays.

It isn't all that I can think of at all for Rios, but I guess you have to make that assumption for your point.
For me an elite fielder doesn't make those mental mistakes as often as Rios does. That is something that the stats can't factor in because all they do is look at the numbers. The numbers can say all they want but in my view part of fielding is not being a lazy/uninterested guy who makes the mistakes that Rios does.
