Don’t want this to be a bash Pulmonary thread, but I’m trying to wrap my head around his decision to cut Reid.

How was his evaluation of him and our prospects at 3rd base so far off?

Needed to make room for beasts like Bianco, Hughes, and Broussard

Dugas getting hurt and Hughes not turning the corner yet are the biggest factors in Reid playing. Props to him tho, dude was written off as a role player at best be a large portion of the fan base ( myself included ) and he keeps on proving people wrong.

Just mentioned this in the game thread. That dude deserves all that comes to him and much appreciation for the way he has conducted himself since he came back. I’m really happy for that kid.

Do you remember when last year Bain, who was a pitcher, ended up being one of our better hitters/position players? Nothing about Bain screamed baseball talent. Hell, his swing even looked like a JV back up. It worked though.

Reid is that kind of guy. Nothing about him jumps off at you as being good, but yet he does everything just good enough.

I was low on Reid, and I was wrong.

So many newcomers with talent aren’t panning out as fast as the coaches thought I guess. On paper Reid doesn’t hit for much power and he’s pretty slow. BUT he has the best eye and approach at the plate of anyone on the team. His defense is solid, but not better than Hughes. I was really sad to see Reid cut, but figured it was for the best. Looks like he won’t let anyone forget about him.

I’ve made a living off of hating on Ried on this board for 3 years.

I was wrong. Kid is saving this team right now.

I'm with you. Its not that I've torn Reid to shreds, but I've built others up based on potential (Slaughter last year, and Hughes/Dugas/Bianco this year). Maybe I wasn't wrong in some of that thinking, but Reid has earned and deserves playing time.

Hughes and Bianco stink. Chris Reid may not be the most talented player but he's 100x better than then both.

Well there’s way more to the story than most people know. Reid told Pawl to Go F&$k himself after a game and that did it. So CPM cut him and he was planning on transferring to LSU Eunice. My duck hunting buddy is best friends with Watson’s older brother. So TWIW

Can't you just say Reid is doing better than you thought? Does it do something for you to tear other down to prop up Reid? What a douche.

Wait...

So he told CPM to go frick himself.

CPM kicked him off.

Reid transferred, during his senior season.

A spot came open, and CPM asked him to come back.

Reid transferred back to LSU.

Now he is starting at 3B.

I've always liked Reid but after hearing about this...I love him!
He's got balls and I'm so happy he told Paul to F himself, someone needed to do it!
