In the middle of the series opener against the Colorado Rockies, the Washington Nationals managed to pick up a former Rockie. That man is Mark Reynolds, who joins the Nats on a minor league deal.
The 34-year-old is coming off of a couple solid seasons in Colorado, where he hit 44 home runs and collected 150 RBI. Despite this, he was another victim of the free agent saga that plagued many players this winter.
Reynolds is a well-renowned power hitter who has 281 career long-balls, but can easily fall victim to the strikeout.
