I'm fine with this only because I like Konerko at the 4 rather than the 3. If Rios has a bounceback season this will be okay.

Damn.
Id read he gave Dunn the benefit of the doubt, why wouldn't he also give it to the right-handed Dunn.

Does Rios have any semblance of power? If you have a #3 guy who sucks at getting on base you'd at least hope that he can hit a homer here or there.

He used to. I don't know anymore. He's too busy striking out for us to find out.

Under normal circumstances you'd probably want Adam Dunn at #3 assuming he's unsucky Dunn and not 2011 Dunn.

Time will tell with him, but if he can resemble anything close to his pre-2011 production, then he's a great choice in the 3 hole.

He can hit around 20 normally.

No. His projected PX is 84. 100 is average power. We should see some BA regression to his norm, but I wouldn't count on power.
I'd rather see Viciedo bat 3rd...for now.

I prefer The tank in the 3 hole. But if Rios has a better season with the changes made with the coaching staff it might be ok. its ST lets see how these guys progress before we go ape shit.

Tank in the 3 hole? Little too much pressure for a guy playing his first full ML season.
