reggie is 26 i think , at this point i cant see why sending him down to the minors will help him much he will be 30 before /if he ever learns to hit , give him this year if he cant turn it around release him.

 

I think keeping Reggie in the lineup while he consistently continues to not do anything to help you win games just to see if he turns it around is a mistake. This is not a good team but the NL is not a good league and I wouldn't give up on the season when you're 6 games out of the WC. Plug the holes and see what happens.

Didn't Reggie Hit like .290 in May?

 

.272/.350/.435

 

yea but dont use stats to show he actually had a half way decent month.... you can distort stats to make them say what you want :hat

 

You are confusing that poster with me. I was the one that said you can twist stats around to show whatever you want And then I showed how the stats that started this topic did just exactly that. Fantasy players do that alot. They read so deeply into stats and find out of the norm stats to rely on that they tend to twist and turn them into "proving" whatever it is they want to believe and then try to make everyone think they are some kind of numbers genius. Makes me wonder why there are ever losers in fantasy sports. If you want to show what he did in May is twisting the stats to prove a point then please feel free to do so. Reggie had a good month in May. I don't see how those stats can be twisted around but feel free to explain it your way. Then show how Hanley didn't have a bad June where he hit a whopping .190. This could be life changing.

I was actually agreeing with you BB27.... Im on the Reggie bandwagon

Reggie is playing just like I would expect someone with only a handful of at bats above double-A. Centerfield remains the biggest mistake made by the front office during the off-season. Abercrombie and Reed with no backup plan? Reggie still has a shot to become a Preston Wilson type, maybe, but he'd be much better served by getting a hundred or so Carolina ABs and then getting some time in the PCL.

But Wilson wasn't that old when he made his debute.

He meant a Preston type hitter, not that he is on the same route as Preson Wilson

I think Reggie is more likely to become a Darrell Whiffmore.

Hes young give the guy a break. its not like the marlins are going anywhere this season. why not let him develop in the majors?

I'm not really on a Reggie bandwagon. I would love to see him turn it around and do great the second half just to prove the nay sayers were wrong again. I believe he is hitting about .250 for July so that is encouraging. But if things don't click then I would hope that the Marlins bring in someone to give him a run in ST next year. Reed just isn't the guy. And I like Alfie as a bench guy. He just is too valuable coming off the bench for every position. I just don't agree that people should zero in on one player and he gets all the blame for every loss. And then when they dig up stats like this to prove their point it gets sickening. I kinda like to take it the other way and show how a different theory that is as ridiculous as theirs works also. Like Hanley hit .190 in June, June was the best month we ever had as a franchise for winning %, therefore we need a SS that hits below .195 in order to win games. The stats prove me right.

Someone asked what was the record in games Reggie starts. I don't know what that is but I looked up the record in games he has played a lot (*) just to see what that was:

 

Reggie plays a lot --- 19-37 .339 winning %

Reggie doesn't play a lot --- 17-9 .654 winning %

 

(*) a lot is considered games in which he had 2 or more plate appearances.

 

From the date of the original post to tonight our record based on Reggie's playing time is as follows:

Reggie plays a lot --- 2-4 .333 winning %

Reggie doesn't play a lot --- 8-2 .800 winning %

 

Our season-to-date record based on Reggie's playing time now is:

Reggie plays a lot --- 21-41 .339 winning %

Reggie doesn't play a lot --- 25-11 .694 winning %

 

I wouldn't play Reggie. Girardi hasn't even used him as a defensive replacement lately. Good move.

Get stats they say it all Reaggie is no good

Your obviously forgetting about that shot he hit in Cincy.

 

I wish he never hit that homer, it seems to be the only reason he is not in AA right now. Any power or speed he has is worthless if he doesnt know how to use it
