Trib Compares Reynolds Unfavorably to DiMaggio
Written by wrigleyville

Diamondbacks vs. Mariners in Seattle.

Phil Rogers is skeptical about the Diamondbacks signing Mark Reynolds to a longterm deal:

Diamondbacks third baseman Mark Reynolds is discussing a lucrative, long-term contract after shattering the single-season record with 223 strikeouts last season. Joe DiMaggio had 369 strikeouts in 13 seasons. …

While I agree with Rogers that it would seem prudent to not latch onto Reynolds too tightly, it's rather incomplete to only mention his strikeouts. He did hit 44 home runs and 30 doubles to go with his .349 OBP and .543 SLG last season as a 25-year-old.

Plus, DiMaggio isn't available to play third for the Diamondbacks.

I would take Reynolds

Every time. Totally unfair comparison. The least Rogers could have done would be to have picked one of the best players of all-time.

Reynolds over dead DiMaggio? Me too.

Still, I half expect Hendry to sign dead Dimaggio to a three-year deal to back up Byrd.

I surely should follow your best idea referring to this topic in time of the college essays & Shakespeare essay paper making. Thence, thank you a lot for efforts.
