Mark Reynolds DFA (UPDATE:Yankees signed him)

[TiredofLosing20]

Please do it, O's!

Seriously, that's a silly reason to give up on a team. Not sure I want Reynolds but that's irrelevant to rooting for the team. I believe they made the playoffs last year with Reynolds playing every day.

Actually he played a huge role in August and September last year.

[Crazysilver03]

I liked Reynolds BUT really is he any better then Pearce DOUBTFUL IMHO

Probably not. But with as streaky as he is a hitter, what is the harm in picking him up for depth for the rest of the year. So you send down Casilla or Urrutia for 20 days until September 1st, what does it matter?

I would pick up Reynolds and give him some ABs in September and if he gets hot, keep him in the line-up. If he doesnt, keep him on the bench.

[Redskins Rick]

There's some truth to this. I think the debate around Reynolds stems from the idea that he is better than his current level of production. He may thrive in a limited role with this os team. I agree with your main premise though. Not a cast off, but there's still harping about us not signing cespeses, but his production currently matches wieters pretty well.

Can you image the threads, if Reynolds was on this team this year, hitting sub-.200 like he has been. They would some serious venom spouting off.

I won't argue if the price is right isn't he owed like 1.75 mil? Theres no doubt the guy can get hot and cold we saw it last year Maybe he's a September kind of guy LOL

As I mentioned in the other thread, I wonder if the ability to wipe the slate clean on his season stats would help him reset and get back to his career level of production at all.

And what better way to reset than to go up against Boston and New York who he has hit well in the past!

[Redskins Rick]

Steve Pearce is 4-9 since coming back off the DL. Just throwing that out there.

Facts are allowed to support your case.

[BohKnowsBmore]

Facts are allowed to support your case.

Are/weren't Valencia and Pearce on the 25? I would think Reynolds and Pearce would both be on the 25 following a move then.

[Redskins Rick]

Valencia is in AAA.

for this week.

Wonder when the next shuttle is, back to the big club?

[Oriole John]

We don't need him ....Adam Dunn will be on the market soon !!!! Adam behind CRUSH would be great

[Winter]

He was just DFA'd. We could get him, but he's been absolutely abysmal since May.

So hes due for 10 homers in 2 weeks

[SeaBird]

We don't need him ....Adam Dunn will be on the market soon !!!! Adam behind CRUSH would be great

With Cruz in detention for Biogenesis, Dunn will provide the power the Rangers need down the stretch.

The Rangers aren't going after Dunn.

They need an outfielder, hence, why this is probably right:

2:45pm: The Rangers are the team that claimed Rios, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News (on Twitter). Grant cautions that claiming Rios and actually striking a deal to acquire the 32-year-old are very different things.

[OrangeJerseys]

Christ some of you need to lighten up.

[Redskins Rick]

The Rangers aren't going after Dunn.

Dang, somebody pulling in real facts again.
