@James: Yeah, like I said above I like Reynolds for a late round flier. He's a lot more interesting than some of the names around him. He's more of a .250 hitter than a .230 hitter, but he's not really a .280 hitter. I wouldn't necessarily put him on a team with Dunn, but on certain teams he's worth drafting.

I am intrigued by Reynolds because his weakness, average, has the potential to get better. He had solid averages in the minors, came out and hit .279 in his rookie year, and then regressed last year hitting .239. What does this tell us? The league discovered his weaknesses and exploited them. What do young baseball player do? They adjust! Can this happen? It can — let’s remember he went from AA to the majors (his skills are still being honed).

Does anyone else like him this year? I believe he is a great late round option that has potential to be pretty good. I understand his BABIP was crazy high in ‘80, but if you look at his career number, they have always been high. A guy that strikes out a lot will always have a high BABIP right?

“You get Chipper Jones for 120 games then grab a hot waiver pickup for the other 30 games and you end up with a much more productive player than Atkins for 155 games.”

What if you own Chipper and Atkins? You get Chipper for 120 then Atkins for the rest.

Just happened to be making my rounds and it seems that Glaus has had shoulder surgery and won’t be around for at least April. Maybe just me, but why wait until the end of January, what happened to Oct-Dec?

@Frank Rizzo:

I guess my post was kinda about reaching, LOL, but I did include GORDON!

And a “reaching” post would be good. You def’ly couldn’t reach last year on HAMILTON enough, but thats kind of a one in a million shot. A few rounds on guys you absolutely have to have…. WHY NOT
