29-year old righty swinging Alex Rios is looking to get his career back on the right path in 2010. He played in 41 games for the White Sox after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays last season and he was 29 of 146 (.199 avg, .530 OPS) with 11 runs scored, 3 homers, 9 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. Overall with the White Sox & Blue Jays, Rios played in 149 games in which he was 144 of 582 (.247 avg, .691 OPS) with 63 runs scored, 17 homers, 71 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. Rios has a career batting average of .281 with a .775 OPS in 850 games in his major league career so the White Sox hope he can hit those numbers in 2010. Rios played in 42 games in CF last season and he made 2 errors while showing good range.

34-year old lefty swinging Mark Kotsay played in 67 games for the Red Sox & White Sox last season in which he was 52 of 187 (.278 avg, .717 OPS) with 16 runs scored, 4 homers, 23 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Kotsay played in 5 error-free games in CF last season while showing poor range. But, Kotsay has always been a decent defender.

32-year old righty swinging Andruw Jones was once one of the best all-around CF in all of baseball when he played with the Braves. He played in 82 games for the Rangers last season and he was 60 of 281 (.214 avg, .782 OPS) with 43 runs scored, 17 homers, 43 RBIs and 5 stolen bases.
