Re: Cox vs Willie.



<<Reyes leadoff with a .290 OBP. Move em down the order till they show
the ability to get it done. Reyes will just keep goin for the TRIPLES
and HOME RUNS unless you have a manager who makes it clear OBP is the
main requirement. >>

Its not his going for triples and HRs which has killed Reyes, but his
lack of batting eye. In fact, I'm begining to think that their trying
to turn him into a slap hitter is hurting him.

Either way though, IMO the biggest mistakes Randolf has made this year
has been the refusal to move Reyes back in the order and the failure to
make Wright the 3 hole hitter out of spring training.
