Could Orioles Use Reynolds As Trade Chip?

With the general manager's meetings coming later this week in Milwaukee, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports wonders whether the Orioles might consider dealing third baseman Mark Reynolds.

"I've heard that at least one executive who interviewed for the president of baseball operations job considered Reynolds to be his top trade chip," Kubatko writes.

"The logic went something like this: Reynolds would be easier for the Orioles to surrender than Adam Jones, a past All-Star and Gold Glove winner. He would bring something in return and his home runs aren't worth the strikeouts, errors and low batting average."

Hey, Detroit needs a third-baseman.

Mark Reynolds sucks. His fielding is shit and he's really trying to set the all-time strikeout record.

Sadly that is a step up from Brandon Inge lol.

He walks and hits for a lot of power, some team will want him.

He walks and yet his OBP is still in the low .300's.

I realize that, but there are a lot of bad 3rd baseman in the league, and teams with no one to put at DH.

and boy he's got a lot of power

but i admit, i missed him in AZ this year lol
it's really fun watching him play. he has a hole in his bat. im amazed how often he swings and misses
