Re: Ryan Braun named Baseball America ROY

nevermind that you also have to combine projection with actual performance -- mark reynolds won't put up those numbers next year and shouldn't be expected to continue to do so during the actual season, so why bat him 3rd.

If he can't hit 3rd next year, we are so screwed!!! No, seriously, we have a team with a lot of young guys who need to develop their game more to be strong contributers. We just need to give them more time to develop and find out who's a bust and who's a stud, and ignore the fluky playoff run we had this year that was at least two years pre-mature. Reynolds is probably the biggest candidate for a bust, he has poor plate discipline, and has been very lucky. But he is only 23, so no one can predict if he'll improve and start to "get it" or not.
