Mark Reynolds is basically Adam Dunn minus 10 HR?

[djxskillz]

In a 5x5 league that does not count strike outs, isn't Reynolds a really good late round draft pick? I mean hes going to give you 90 or so runs, maybe 30ish home runs, and 95-100 rbis. Am I wrong? Anyone have any thoughts on him? I just dropped Weeks for him and I really like the move.

Well, to answer your first question, the biggest difference Reynolds and Dunn is that Dunn talks walks. Doesn't really mean that much in a standard 5X5 league, but in OBP or OPS league he's a stud.

Reynolds is worth grabbing if you can afford the non-BA friendly stat.

I do too, especially considering how shallow 3B is this year. In 5x5's, he's a great consolation pick that you can get much later than the mid tier guys (Beltre, Zimmerman, etc) that has a nice chance to outproduce them.

With Reynolds though you aren't sure what his floor is. Reynolds is a terrible hitter which makes him streaky and could be prone to seeing the "pine" throughout the season, he could very well put up a line of .230/20/75/75 if your not careful. He's not guaranteed 30hr, IMHO.

Alot of guys are called Adam Dunn lite, just none of them produce 40/100 every single year or whatever their own ideal numbers are. Reynolds is nothing close to a sure thing, wouldn't trust him as anything more than a CI.

Very true. I do like him as a late rounder if you're not thrilled with your 3B situation, though.

yeah. In a H2H I wouldn't touch Reynolds.

[Another Blown Save]

I'm not a huge fan of him, but I somehow ended up with him in all of my leagues.
I think if you can get him late, I think he's good value

To answer your original question, yes. Reynolds has a pretty atrocious plate discipline which may affect his PT if he doesn't improve and everyone stays healthy. Therefore the risk with Reynolds is much greater.

is he splitting time with chad tracy? i can't see him get a full season's worth of ABs with such bad plate discipline.
