Lind vs. Rios

[reenum]

Which one of these players has more value going forward?

Rios has the track record, but Lind has been raking.

If I took part in a draft today I wouldn't draft Lind in the first 10 rounds unless maybe if it were Roto and I got to keep the stats they had already produced.

Still Rios. Although Lind is showing an improved batting eye with more power than he has in the past.

OMG, I FYP FTW

Don't know if it's an "improved" batting eye because Lind has hit well at all levels and has the track record (.280 career MLB hitter). I would have defended this point a year ago, but more and more I get the impression that Rios is miscast in his role as a number 3 hitter and Lind fits the bill perfectly for that kind of versatile hitter with power. I think Lind has the greater power and run production potential, but Rios brings the speed to the table.
