I am confused. In one sentence, you say you understand what I'm getting at, and in the next, you say I clearly dont understand a thing about baseball. As Kellas would say... I'd appreciate it if you could teach me how to contradict myself like that too! ;)Bugs wrote: Not true. He's one of the best defensive first basemen in the game. I understand what you're getting at, that he's not much of a power hitter at a traditional power position. I just wanted to point out that you clearly don't understand a thing about baseball, unless Harold Reynolds has talked about it in a segment of 15 seconds or less.
Look at his numbers the last couple of years. His power has dropped off, and his batting average has declined. He's going to be 37 next season. If you want to sign him as a backup 1B, he's a nice insurance policy, but he's not the guy I want to trot out there every night.
