maybe im too optimistic about this team...but reed, abercrombie, and aguila have a pretty good upside...well maybe not aguila so much...but in that vast outfield, it will be nice to have someone who can throw the ball harder than my grandma who is 86 can...i mean reed may not be the greatest hitter in the world...but he will save ALOT of runs out there this year

Ryan Rupe induces a game ending fly ball by Ryan Markakis

nice game kids

id prefer reed or abercrombie...if reed can keep the ball down and not swing at junk...which i know are HUGE ifs...he can be just effective this year as juan pierre was last year(im keepin it realistic for a rook) and play way better defense

Im liking Reggie in CF because he actually could be a power threat
