Rios turns to video to reclaim offensive spark
White Sox center fielder looking to rebound from tough 2011
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com | 02/25/12 4:39 PM ESTGLENDALE, Ariz. -- During this past offseason, Alex Rios went back to his successful past to help reclaim his offense for both the present and the future.
Rios studied video of his swing and his approach from the 2006 and '07 seasons with the Blue Jays, which were part of a three-year stretch when Rios hit a combined .296 with 56 homers, 123 doubles, 246 RBIs and 273 runs scored. And what did the 31-year-old take from these sessions that can be applied to a 2012 comeback?
Well, that information might be released on a need-to-know basis as the upcoming season unfolds. "Every time I talk about the good things that I'm working on, I feel like .... I'm very superstitious," said Rios, speaking to the media Saturday morning after reporting four days before White Sox position players officially are due. "Every time I say something, I feel like everything I've done goes away."
