So Reynolds would rather have a team full of Jimmy Rollins and Corey Patterson type players. Players who DON'T work a pitcher, DON'T walk very much, and happen to be faster than your average ballplayer.
His argument that Thomas didn't score enough runs was just ridiculous. Frank PRODUCED a s***load of runs measured in a stat we call RBI. He just didn't get knocked in by some of the knuckleheads batting behind him in the lineup in 2003.
You can't go all for OBP or all against it. Look at what Billy Beane has done in Oakland trying to build a team on OBP. Their offense is pretty pathetic every year and wins on pitching and defense. Basically the conclusion is, Harold Reynolds is officially on crack. And John Kruk is the best commentator on BBTN.
