reynolds looked like shit last year... he really just was horrible near the end there.. i mean more strikeouts than your average holy fuck
theres no way he can have anywhere near that bad of a year... and hopefully he changes things up after that embarrassment.. i SEE a ~.250 year for him with 20 homers
Where are you getting this .250/20 year from him? Any facts or anything behind it or just talking out of your ass again? .250 is realistic but 20 HR are you kidding me?
In his rookie year he played 111 games and hit 17 HR. In the 3 full seasons after that he hit 28, 44, and 32 HR. Last season he only hit like .066 with 0 HR the final month. He played in 20 games played after his hand injury so that HR total if he was healthy is probably over 35. Where you get 20 HR from I'd love to know because to me it seems like you are just picking a random number off the top of your head. Camden Yards is a great hitters park too.
Another reason I like this signing is because the dude had a .913 ops last season (his worst season as a pro) against lefties. The AL East top teams are all lead by ace lefty pitchers (CC on Yanks, Lester on Sox, Price on Rays). He will help us a lot as our team struggled against lefties last season.
