I'm done being mad at Omar. He's a guy we need to upgrade offensively, but if he's our #9 hitter, who really cares? It's not the end of the world and his defense is above average.
Rios is a .700+ OPS guy. Maybe more. He no longer needs to be replaced. But come playoff time, we should use Dyson as his late inning defensive replacement and if he is slumping, probably use him as a Dyson's left-handed platoon.
