Mark Reynolds DFA (UPDATE:Yankees signed him)

[bpilktree]

How much will he cost ?

I would think about 150K.

Who gets sent down to make room for Reynolds who only serves as a DH and rarely (>2 times) a spot start at first? Maybe it is just me, but I hope that Betemit comes back and we skip the strikeout king.

Get rid of Casilla. You have less than 20 days until rosters expand. Call up Dickerson and/or Avery for PR purposes.

I would prefer to sign Mark to a MiLB contract and call him up on September 1st.

Reynolds defense at 3b and crazy strikeouts frustrate us all, but there is a good chance this provides a spark in the clubhouse. Just a hunch.

Yeah he won't be asked to that here.

Hopefully, he wont be asked to do anything here.

As someone else said, he's not going to be asked to play there or just about anywhere on the field (unless Davis has a freak injury) and sometimes a K is okay. It builds up the pitch count and avoids a DP.

He should be brought back for the sole purpose of playing against the Rays and Sox. And also against the Indians if we play them in the wildcard game. He would most likely hit 3 HRs that game.

We play in Cleveland Sept 2-4th as well.

I want Reynolds back. He could easily turn it around and carry this team into 1st place. As bad as he was the first 2/3rds of last season, he hit 15 homers and had an .884 OPS the last 52 games of the season. He'd also provide a big boost to the clubhouse IMO. He seemed like he was loved by everyone.

Here we go, prepare for landing ...

Thats exactly what the O's were waiting for. Why pay $1.75MM when you can get him for $150K.

call me crazy, but I fully believe a Reynolds/betemit platoon DH would give us a huge spark and be productive.

They don't use Pearce now, plus Reynolds is an upgrade to Pearce. If he gets hot, you catch lightning in a bottle.

Evidently, he is not any longer. I don't see it. But, if you can sign him to a minor league contract and have him work with Crowley for two weeks, I would do it. Pay him MLB money. Just keep him off the 25 man roster right now.

Best hope they never need a defensive replacement or pinch runner.

And I guess Flaherty becomes the fourth outfielder.

Anyone longing for Reynolds is puffing on the ex-Oriole love affair pipe. The guy is a no contact guy thats power seems to be diminishing that plays 1B and we have a 1B.
