Did Alex Rios change his batting stance?

Share

Good stuff here from Jim at South Side Sox: It looks like Alex Rios opened up his stance a bit. And it looks pretty similar to the stance he had in 2006 -- his first good offensive season in the majors.

At the beginning of spring training, Rios did mention that he looked at video from those 2006 and 2007 seasons. Here's what he had to say about his offseason, speaking in more generalities here (Rios starts talking around the 1:19 mark):

As Jim points out, it's not the results that really matter -- Rios actually had pretty good stats last March -- it's more watching to see if he's comfortable in his stance. If he is, perhaps there's hope for a solid rebound year.
