Jeremy Reed Prediction Thread

i dont see how you can say reed is a bunch of hype.... i mean he did hit over .400 last year in the minors and he isnt like borchard who was a bunch of hype when he was drafted reed earned it by hitting amazingly in the minors

I don't even think Reeds been hyped all that much, but Poppy is entitled to his opinion.

 

I mean, I find it hard to believe that Reed will ever hit .340 or so at the major league level, but I do think he could hit around .315 to .320 with a good eye, not many strikeouts, 15 hr's, 20-30 stolen bases and a good amount of RBI's while playing good defense.

 

Not hall of fame numbers, but damn good numbers either way. However, thats after a few years of developing, although Reed is one of those players that I think could come up and play pretty darn good from the get go. He just has a pure swing and a great mental approach.

July 15th. I think KW pulls the trigger on a trade a little early.

He could even explode late in his career like Luis Gonzalez did in his 30's and hit about 30 to 40 home runs, but that's not too likely.
