due to the fact that adam jones is freaking awesome and jay bruce is showing no signs of sophamore slump, Alex Rios has actually been relegated to my bench..
i don't think this really pertains to the original question, i just find it interesting that a player I was so pumped up about having at the beginning of the season is now a bench player..
I'll go against the grain and go with Rios, I like his odds of hitting for a higher average and Hart is more likely to move down in the order than Rios. I'd rather have both than Werth too, not that Werth is bad.
I'm a little worried about how many Sb's Hart will end up this season..I remember hearing that Macha isn't big on stealing...plus he's already been caught 3 times out of 6 attempts.

+1. I do love the fact that Hart is being more patient this year though. Problem is he has been moving from 2nd, 1st, all the way down to 7th in the lineup. Rios is pretty solidified at the top of a lineup that has been great thus far. I own both (guess it's just the combo to have) and I would rather have Rios starting than Hart.
I like the fact that Hart has been taking more walks. Couple that with Rios's subpar season in 2008, and Corey seems to win among these two.
I never smile if I can help it.... Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. When someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life.
