    Collins may have been marginally better at third. He was pretty bad over there.

    I didn?t remember 10 bombs from him in 2016. That?s impressive. Guessing he hit .245 though. And Reynolds could fly out of the box. Was second fastest time to First behind Robson. Neither collins nor Reynolds are pro guys.

    All considered, I don?t disagree collins was the better option at third. But see my post above as to why I would have kept both.

    10 home runs 39 RBI's and hit .302. Slugged over 500 too. I agree Collins wasn't great at third but still IMO better defensively than Reynolds. Plus Gavin essentially equalled his average with much more power. Gavin is playing third in the minors right now but I doubt he makes it to MLB.

    I agree, Collins had a great year at 3B and had a steady bat that got better late. Made some errors but never in a big moment or big game.
