Anyone know why the Jays are sitting Rios?

They guy has the best batting average in the league I believe, coming off a 2 run blast last night...why sit him?

He`s hot a shit right now as well.The only thing may be he is 0-5 against Haren.I took the Jays.I would like to see him playing.

I have a play on the over and he is just about a sure thing to get on base and good for a steal at least, guys scores runs batting lead off...damn!!

I guess you won`t like the fact that Chavez is sitting as well.

they've been known to sit him against a tough righty and this is a tough one....I really Rios as a future star, been saying it for a while.

Jays have a glut of good hitting outfielders.. Earlier in the season Rios and Hinske were platooning that position , but with his hot start Rios has won the job.. They still sit him against tough RH pitchers now and then to get Hinske and Catalanotto their at bats..

not a bad group of outfielders at the plate
