He's your fielding qupte

quote:

Everyone's single, solitary argument for Reid is his average/obp from 2 years ago. He's not faster. He's bad at fielding. He only hits singles (when he does hit) and his average his freshman year was from lots of garbage-time hits.



here's someone attempting to devalue a career .400 OBP

quote:

t's hard to score lots of runs when all you do is hit singles and you're slow.


quote:

So here's what you get with Reid AT HIS BEST: Someone who doesn't score runs or knock in runs


quote:

but he's too slow to get around to score without two hits or a HR or a walk + xtra base hit.



quote:

He doesn’t score runs. He doesn’t produce runs - RBIs. He doesn’t field well.

Where do any of those quotes even mention OBP being devalued? Can Reid score from 2nd on a single? Can Reid score from third on a shallow pop fly into the outfield? can Reid stretch a single into a double? Probably not on any of those. Are you trying to say Reid isn't slow? Or is there another reason why he hasn't attempted a stolen base in his entire career? Even the Jordan brothers have managed to do that.

As to his fielding...he has had 19 fielding opportunities this season. Do you think that's a big enough sample size to say his .909 fielding percentage 2 years ago is behind him?
