Saunders is gone anyways so Rios would work. Not a game changer, but a nice piece to the puzzle. Add him a two more vet hitters like say Cuddyer and Martinez and you have a nice lineup. No real big boppers, but KC showed that isn't always needed.
And that is exactly how the team needs to be built. With Safeco you don't necessarily need to have a huge power bat, just a bunch of guys who can get on base and have timely hitting. If I were constructing a team that plays have their games in Safeco, I would start of by looking for doubles guys instead of just raw power. Beltre is a prime example, the guy would hit fine at Safeco when he would go to the opposite field but struggled when he tried pulling for power.
