Washington Nationals: Time to end the Mark Reynolds Cinderella story

When veteran infielder Mark Reynolds made his Washington Nationals debut, he looked like a Cinderella story. However, now it looks like the clock has hit midnight, and it may be time to let him go.

In his first 12 games with the big league club, Reynolds slashed .432/.475/.946 in a sensational streak. However since then, he’s merely slashing .208/.322/.385, and that includes his historic 5 for 5 night against the Miami Marlins.

Aside from a two-year spell with the Colorado Rockies, and the added benefit of Coors Field, the latter line isn’t too far from his career numbers.
