He's not a bad fielder, he just has very limited range. That wouldn't show up in a box score.
Was told he was a terrible fielder. Errors were cited. He has zero errors so far.

no one said he was too slow to score runs,
sure, someone did.

he's always had a great OBP and no one has ever said any different.
his OBP has been devalued over and over again by people who do not understand its importance.

link? But he did have the lowest fielding % on the team the last year he started by a significant margin.
He had a .909 fielding %. The next worst among starters was Kramer at .948. Sample sizes are kind of relevant. Reid has only had 19 fielding opportunities so far this year

link? And do you want to know who the all-tome season record holder is for runs? Nathan Dunn. he was one of the slowest players on the team in 1996. Scoring runs doesn't determine if you are fast or slow. Eddy Furniss is 3rd all-time for a single season for christ's sake and 2nd for his career

no one devalues him being able to get on base. What people have said is that Slaughter has a lot more potential and if he can play up to his potential, Reid's OBP isn't as valuable as what Slaughter is capable of providing. No one has ever said OBP doesn't matter. But it is also not the end all be all either.

His freshman year he had a fielding % of .909 with 10 errors. I'm glad that he has improved in that area but those comments were not unfounded.
