I was always keen on him and wanted to draft him but BJ Upton had slipped to the end of the 3rd round but then got taken ONE SPOT in front of me. So I took Rios and have spent all season trying to fill a black hole at 2B. Would have been nice to get Upton and then have grabbed someone like McLouth off the wire. Rios' steals have been great, but the rest of his stats have been a bit of a drain over the season. He's dead to me now though. @Grey: He’s caused me a lot of grief this year.

It's a fill-in or an I'm-behind-in-steals-this-week kind of guy that I'm after, so Gomez it is. I've just traded Rios away for Burrell so want a bit of SB insurance. My trading him away is clearly the reason he is now red-hot. You're welcome ;-) @Grey: Perfect. It’s a fill-in or an I’m-behind-in-steals-this-week kind of guy that I’m after, so Gomez it is.

As a part-time fill-in type who only plays on Mondays or Thursday or when someone is hurt, I go Gomez because he's the biggest speed threat, but he may not play every day. So he's the least interesting every day play out of those three. @Steve: I’d put Dickerson as the most risk/upside cause the least is known about him by other teams, Span seems to have the best skill set for a leadoff man (high OBP), but less speed than Gomez.
