I took Hanrahan. NEXT!
Ya know, after looking over Reynolds stats from last year, and the stats we are using in this league, getting him in the 16th round is a steal. the only place he MIGHT hurt me is BA. if you limit PA's to 450, he's a top 5 3B in every category except BA (21st) and RBI (7th)
I'm feeling pretty good about the pick, better if he can get his BA back to his 2007 season.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
I've got Reynolds down for .244/78/26/92/8. PECOTA has him at .260/79/29/84/9. That is a big spread in BA. He's a slightly below-average player compared overall based on the PECOTA projection. But with my BA he's not worth much. Basically, it all depends on how comfortable you are with his BA; if he can keep it up around .260 he will be pretty good...
Fwiw, I feel I should make some type of statement regarding yesterday. I chalk up yesterday as a regrettable, BIG misunderstanding. (More than one actually) One of which I want to try to clear up.
At NO time was I suggesting that Atomic Dumpling did anything improper. Since it appears that Atomic Dumpling (and others) may have had that impression and that Atomic Dumpling felt insulted I offer my sincere apology to him for not wording my previous post better but it was NOT my intention to insult his character or integrity. Again, Imo, this is mostly a misunderstanding.
I hope that people can understand that at this time I feel it may be better for me to not comment anymore about what happened yesterday until at least some time has passed and it's not quite so "fresh". I also hope that this will not affect anything that happens this year. If it does I'll leave it up to the commish and the rest of the league to decide how to proceed.
By the way, judging from some of the posts, I'm afraid that a few people maybe making assumptions based on only a couple posts on an anonymous internet message board. As some of you may already know, it can be easier for misunderstandings to happen when you're dealing with the internet. And like I've said, Imo, yesterday was a regrettable, BIG misunderstanding. One that I would like to be left to Atomic Dumpling and myself to discuss sometime in the future.
It was a misunderstanding. These things happen. No worries.
Let's just pretend it never happened and go have some fun.
I think it was a good selection. He is very good in runs, HRs and RBIs. He hurts in BA, but you can compensate for that with some other players. He is a quality player -- but not perfect. But how many perfect players are available in the 16th round?
He's entering his third year. 1st year he had an .843 OPS, 2nd year he regressed. If he posts an .830 OPS this year, I'll be plenty pleased to have him as my starting 3B.
I think he was waaay overlooked, especially given the stats we are using. in 4 of the 5 offensive categories he was a top 10 player finishing no lower than 7th. It all comes down to his BA, which I think will rebound to at least a .280 mark.

I didn't realize he stole that many bases last year. He is still only 25 years old.
Mark Reynolds also set the all time mark for strike outs(204) in one year in 2008(Dunner is now in third behind Reynolds and Ryan Howard). He walked 64 times. With that low of a contact rate, his batting average will not go up too much. He struck out 37.8% of the time in 2008. His BABIP was .329 last year, which is generally considered on the 'lucky' side. He is Adam Dunn lite....that is why I passed on him.
But you are right that everyone in the 16th round has warts, and his are no worse than others, and he is young with upside.

CRF2000 takes young SP Josh Johnson with his 16.7 pick.Thatwould work great for me... So from now on if after the time limit or if my turn happens to fall during the morning or early afternoon feel free to add the best player for me that way im not holding things up i have confidence in your choice.
Camisadelgolf is now on the clock.
mbgrayson is now up, and then I think it's me again.
I took Rickie weeks with pick 16.9...talk about questionable batting average!
Back to camisadelgolf for 16.10.
Mike
