He's no Lyle Overbay.
220 avg with 25 dingers while playing the D he has been is a huge upgrade over last year.
To be even more on the fence, If the Brewers are still contending this summer, I'd like to see them upgrade 1st base. Reynolds' versatility makes him a great guy coming off the bench.
Reynolds OBP is .307. Slg is .500 and OPS is .807.
Career OBP is .328. SLG is .465 and OPS is ,793.
I think we are getting what we should be expecting to get.
Three True Outcomes (3TO)
Walk, Strike out, Home run. They are the outcomes controlled by the pitcher and hitter, the rest of the defense doesn't matter. 3TO is what made Russell Branyan arguably the greatest hitter in history. Rob Deer was the grandfather of 3TO.
Reynolds BABIP might be due to a change in approach, or it might be hitting in a different park, or it might be the small sample of a quarter season (for comparison, right now Dee Gordon is on pace to have 100 stolen bases).
I think we are getting the real Reynolds. Power without average, OBP is actually down, but unarguable power potential. If you can handle ignoring BA, and he can keep his OPS over .800, I think we are getting a steal.
Jerk.
3TO was a car made by Pontiac in the 1960's. Or something. Also starred alongside WD40 in Star Wars.
OBP is not a car made by Pontiac

I'm excited about Mark Reynolds too.
3TO = average game for Bert Favre. 3 turnovers per game.
