Dude stinks. Has no power. Can't get on base. Goes cold often. Average fielder and runner. Waste of money.
OT: Bryan Reynolds a bust?
- Thread starter 4Mark_Marty
- Start date
Your timing is good. Next ten games or so are against Chicago and the Brewers.
They should try him at shortstop.
He was a stud for my fantasy BB team the 1st week or 2 of the season. Since then he’s been meh. I’ve been considering dumping him and upgrading with a KeBryan Hayes!!
The Pirates invested in two good players that each have a certain set of strengths.
It’s probably less than those guys would have gotten on the open market over the life of the contract, but more than if they would have gotten lucky and found the next 2 cheap young good players.
They may not be superstars, but it was necessary to stack talent. Because if couple of the young guys really become elite, then they are part of a nice window of contending baseball. Otherwise, they just keep developing and losing them before they have enough.

The Reynolds extension was an interesting decision. The term was not too expensive, but he was gonna be pretty old when be hit free agency, so he probably made the right call signing the deal. He's a solid player that should age well, but he needs to hit more this year.
Agree. Not worth the money the Pirates paid for him. Dude since his first week of April has 2 HR's. He stinks at the plate for way too long before he gets hot for a week. Then he sucks again.
Hindsight is 20/20. Reynolds has been pretty consistent the last few years. Sometimes players press too much after signing new contracts...especially given the Reynolds situation. Requesting a trade with dissatisfaction over contract talks, before coming to an agreement.
I am not excusing his swoon, just suggesting that he has shown productive consistency in years past. He may not match last years' power numbers, but his record deserves more time to evaluate. Besides, Pirates would be criticized for not signing their best players again if they had not signed him and traded him for unknown prospects.

Taillon agrees to 4-year deal with Cubs
CHICAGO -- For the second December in a row, the Cubs have added a veteran starter to strengthen the front end of their rotation. Chicago has followed last winter's surprising addition of Marcus Stroman with the signing of right-hander Jameson Taillon to a four-year contract on Monday. "He's a guy

2 HR's in his last 215 at bats. Pathetic.
He is tied for 5th in the league in doubles (and tied for 7th in triples for what that's worth). There is more to baseball than just hitting home runs.
I suspect you may be right. Nutsack does not part with money easily. When the return on investment is what Reynolds is providing, the purse strings will get even tighter.
Its likely past the super 2 deadline. They need to bring up some of the real prospects to put a little less pressure
I have no idea who David Todd is. I've never heard of him before. I mean I can understand why you'd take the opinion of some random person on the internet over your own, but rest assured that I do not.
But like I said before, it's as if you simply can't understand that it is possible to both want someone to be producing better and yet still think that they don't completely suck. For you, the world is completely black and white. You are either exceeding expectations, or you suck. No middle ground. Ever.
It's a ridiculous way to think about sports, and good god, I hope you don't live your whole life that way.
Another internet rando says so. So it must be true. That settles it.
Oh, well, Chad, aka BogeyLife1, also thinks that Reynolds sucks. Well why didn't you tell me. That changes everything!
On another note - saw the Reds up close and personal beat the brakes off the Astros Saturday and it's deflating to see the difference in talent level between them and the Pirates. The Reds are legit!
