FACTS/FLUKES: Rios, Nolasco, Ackley, Calhoun, Beckham

Rios looks for consistency ... Acquired in early August 2013 to fill the void left by Nelson Cruz (OF, TEX), Alex Rios (OF, TEX) turned out to be a shrewd pickup for TEX, as he hit .280 with 6 HR and a somewhat surprising 16 SBs over the remainder of the season. Swapping one friendly ballpark (U.S. Cellular Field) for another, can Rios replicate last year's success?
