Yankees acquire Mark Reynolds

[yankeesince59]

...rick, I don't expect him to be some sort of savior...but he has a good glove as compared to Overbay and when facing LHed pitching, he's an upgrade over Overbay...I'm sure before long we will be dog cussing Reynolds for striking out so often but again when compared to Overbay he is simple a good platoon move...difference maker/...we'll see.

^^^ points and giggles.


...and yes, it was a good signing...sorry to disappoint you...but it is however, nice to see you finally back on topic...but you're still too stupid to grasp what a simple "platoon move" means. Picking up Reynolds for essentially the league minimum was a no brainer...but in typical fashion, you find a way to interject your Cashman hatred into it.

What you don't get is that I don't give a crap about the marginal upgrade in a platoon situation for a crappy flawed team. 2013 is not my concern. The future of this team is what matters and the hands this team are in have no clue what they are doing. So yippee for Reynolds and his occasional HR power. As I said. I don't give a shit if he is on this team or not but it is what he represents that gets me.

...no, I DO get it....and what you don't get, dumbass, is that this thread is about Reynolds, who was just acquired...but you decide to make it into your Yankee/Cashman hate fest. For about the 3rd fucking time, this is not about the general state of the Yankees, or about the ability of its management, and never was, until you decided on your own, to try to make it into something else entirely...great job, take a bow.

...and sorry to break it to you, but unlike you, some people are not throwing in the towel yet and so for them, 2013 IS "a concern".

...simple question, and try as best you can to not go off on yet another tangent, are the Yankees better off with Reynolds facing LHed pitching than with Overbay?...yes or no?

 

[Majorball]

Yes

Sure they are a little better. But again, who cares. He isn't a difference maker. He doesn't help the real issues. He is yet another in a long line of bad aids. So sorry if you chose to ignore the big picture while some of us do not. This thread is about Reynolds and as I said, what he represents is everything wrong with this team. You don't like the direction I'm taking this? Too damn bad.

 

[yankeesince59]

Sure they are a little better.

...lmfao...you could have stopped right there...glad the actual crux of this thread finally sunk in.

...and he "isn't a difference maker"?...gee, no kidding?...who said or implied that he was or was expected to be?...see "platoon move".

 

[Majorball]

So lets review, Reynolds, 2 for 5, 1 HR, 3 Rbi's.

Better than Overbay against lefties.

^^^ and he doesn't appear to have tourettes at 1B.
