The Colorado Rockies have been down this road before and should know better by now.
On Thursday, the Rockies signed first baseman Mark Reynolds to platoon with Ben Paulsen. Reynolds is a veteran who is known for his unbelievable power and his ability to strike out a lot. He doesn’t bring much more to the table at this point in his career.
Reynolds’ stats are what they are. He can mash for sure as he hit 237 home runs in his eight-year career but he has also led the Major Leagues in strikeouts in four seasons and has over 120 punch outs in seven of his eight years.
