July 19, 200322 yr Q: Rich from Chicago asks: Josh- Has Jeremy Reed passed Joe Borchard in the Sox' eyes? Is .300-15-80-30 with a good batting eye a realistic stats line? What do you think? A: Josh Boyd: I've heard Mark Kotsay comparisons for Reed, and I think it would be fair to say that Kotsay at his best was a pretty solid big leaguer, which is what scouts in So. Cal expected last June before the draft. Long Beach State's Blair Field suppressed his numbers a little bit, but one scout I talked to recently said he stopped doubting Reed's power when he hit a ball out of Blair Field to the opposite field last year. I don't think there is any question Reed has passed Borchard, but I don't think the White Sox would tell you that yet.
