Britton is a MLB level glove- no doubt. Bat wont allow him to get past A-ball though most likelyQuote:

Who would DH if Reynolds plays 3B?
A. Britton 3B glove - Britton bat - Reynolds bat - Holland - Heck
or
B. Reynolds 3B glove - Britton 2B glove - Holland or Heck - ??? DH
(A) just makes more sense to me, but there is a LOOOONG way to go until Opening Day and more importantly SEC play.
Genius**Quote:

It's always cute when you pretend to know baseball, but now it's time to quit pretending.Quote:

Looking at his JUCO stats, he had over 1.0 OPS. Was almost twice as likely to walk or get HBP than he was to K. Stole some bases, hit for a nice amount of power. More impressive statistically than either Pirtle or Detz were coming in, although similar in plate discipline.
Cohen mentioned Reynolds being skinny\scrawny when they first saw him but I bet he got stronger since then. 6-2 180 not too shabby. He could turn out to be a great find but how many WOW plays did Britton have from 3B last year? Cohen loved him there.
One thing I know for damn sure- Britton is going to be on the field
DH is wide open at this point. Gavin Collins will DH when he is not catching. Aside from that, I suspect it will probably be one of the outfielders most likely, although I think Reynolds is certainly a possibility as well.Quote:

yes and I will be correct.Quote:

We win 30 or fewer, I will no longer comment on whatever you want me to no longer comment on. We win 31 or more, you no longer comment on baseball in any shape, fashion, or form on this website. Deal? I'll gladly make a similar deal with basketball if you actually believe what you are posting tonight.Quote:

You are without a doubt the most perplexing and bipolar poster I've seen in a long time.
well it's kind of like when you started kind of half way not minding when croom lost because you knew that was the only way he would lose his job. Its like that with me for Ray. Rick Ray = Sly Croom IMO.Quote:

May be willing to go 19 or even 20 as I continue to get more practice reports.
No racist undertones to this at all**Quote:
