PHILLIES EAGLES FLYERS SIXERS
Watching Howard and Reynolds together in the same batting lineup would be nothing but physically painful. I'm actually worried for Orioles fans this year, who are being put to the challenge of having to watch Reynolds and Chris Davis together. Those two are going to shatter whatever combined strikeout records in existence. It's going to be a season for the history books haha.
Not to mention the horrific defense. Adding the worst defensive 3B in MLB to an infield that already showcases the worst defensive 1B in MLB is a bad idea.
I'm fine with acquiring Reynolds for this year, but he would need to be jettisoned before 2013 providing Howard isn't forced into retirement by then. You can't have those two in the field together.
Actually, what would be interesting but would never happen is, a Howard/Reynolds platoon. That actually could potentially be incredible.
That would be sexy
I have a feeling that Howard will never hit more then 20 HR a year for the rest of his career. I am not sure he will ever be the same after this injury. So I would go for a platoon.
I can't think of any power hitters then came back from his injury
A 30 million 1st baseman that strikeouts 400 times....JK he could also play third and platoon him with Polly....But phils will never go for him because of his defense.
I hope Ryan is watching all of his bats 3 to 4 times and relize it is ok to take a walk.
I said last year just stop swinging when in a full count for a few games and see if the pitches changes when full.
