Q9: Brody asks, "What are your thoughts regarding Rios' playing time upon his return? I am contemplating making a buy-low play for him, but worry about Reed Johnson. Am I overthinking it?"
A: Rotomusing responds, "Thanks for the email.
Alexis Rios returned to the Jays after a brief rehab which leads me to believe the very serious infection did not sap his strength.
If that holds, then a buy-low transaction is a wise move that will pay-off quickly.
Even if he has lost some power, he is still a good buy-low candidate.
I wouldn't worry too much about Reed Johnson taking Rios' ABs. The removal of Shea Hillenbrand freed-up ABs that Eric Hinske will get."
Follow-up: Rios has played every day since being activated. Over 35 ABs, he has a double amongst his 9 hits with no walks while striking out 10 times.
