If you want to paint with a broader brush & just look at AVG with runners on
Rios 275
Crawford 359
Cabrera 341

If you don't include total number of runners, then we are not using a fair sample size to compare Rios. He has had less people on base, therefore limiting his chance of boosting his Avgerage with people on base. It's not fair to compare his lower average with crawford or cabrera when they have had more people on base. Yeah Rios may have a lower average with people on base, but his sample size is also lower which lowers his average compared to others. Would his average with RISP be higher with more baserunners for him? Maybe? We don't know. His batting average by itself is over .300 which leaves good chance that having more baserunners would have to raise his average with RISP.
