I would go with Lee but I also wouldn't be surprised if Rios ends up with similar value come seasons end.

Rios doesn't have the consistency Lee does. Anyone who has followed his career would have noticed that Rios hits virtually all his homers in one half of the season, and even more frustrating is the the half he decides to hit them in appears to be completely random. Rios will continue to get better while Lee probably won't, but what you get with Lee is pretty damned good and he'll be reliable for at least a few more seasons to come. I'd keep Lee.

Lee, especially with the season he was putting up last year. As much as I like Rios, you may be kicking yourself if you keep him instead because of his inconsistency. D-Store hit it dead on.
