AL East Notes: Reynolds, Keppinger, Rivera: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Where would you guys play him? He is beyond brutal at 3B.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Um, because he's a proven hitter? And just in: Morel blows.

 

[Uman85]

Morel is brutal at third. At least Reynolds has a bat, albeit a streaky one.

 

[dabynsky]

Reynolds bat is nice, but he is beyond brutal at 3B. He is basically a 1B/DH and last time I checked you guys had those spots covered.

 

[DewsSox79]

morel on defense is fine. his bat is Reeeaaalll bad.

id play him at 3b. and of course this is all for conversation since I really hate morel.

 

[dabynsky]

I am not sure which is worse Morel's bat or Reynold's glove at 3B.

true.

 

[DewsSox79]

the sox should have kept the tank at his natural position at 3b and used dome in LF.

 

[dabynsky]

Now it would be fun to have Reynolds and Dunn in the same lineup because you would have two kings of the three true outcomes.

 

[nickofypres]

In a fucking heartbeat I'd take Reynolds.

 

[brett05]

Don't want him. Too many wasted at bats and it would cripple the defense which would not offset the extra power

 

[dabynsky]

He had 26 errors in 114 games last season at the hot corner. His fielding percentage was .897. The Orioles have played him there 15 times this season and he has an .850 fielding percentage. The dude cannot play 3B. He is a 1B/DH.

Outside a few guys, Sox aren't hitting for enough power & Morel belongs in AAA.

morel says hi

 

[DewsSox79]

ok what about youkalis?

 

[LPD]

Youk I would be interested in. Reynolds not so much, defense at 3B is worst than terrible and is a strike out monster.

 

[dabynsky]

Youk is capable of handling 3B. He would also provide a nice OBP for the lineup. He does get hurt a lot though, and is 33. He would be more of a fit, but I doubt Kenny goes that route at this point.

Enough power? Keep it. Give me hits. Give me walks. Give me situational hitting. (ok secretly I want the 85 cards or 85 royals)

 

[brett05]

ok what about youkalis?

Is he the missing piece? I don't think we're that close. Red Sox would have to eat a lot!
