Forget the Strikeouts - Luke Skywalker a.k.a Mark Reynolds should be on your rotisserie roster

How cool would it be to have Luke Skywalker on your roster. Think how neat it would be at your auction draft to say,
"I nominate Luke Skywalker for $1......"
And anyone who tells you that Mark Reynolds is really not Luke Skywalker is lying. Just look and see for yourself.

On June 18th Blake Kearny posted Whiff….. The post laid out the argument why you shout jettison Mark Reynolds from your roster if you had him, or stay clear if you didn’t. I’m here to tell you that Blake is wrong and you should keep him and or go get him if your league still permits trading (I can’t imagine he’s a free agent.)

On May 26th I wrote Why Adam Dunn and should be on your roster….. We’ll sone very similar principals apply here.

Sure Reynolds will break the record for strikeouts in a season (a record that he himself set last year). He will probably strike out 215 times! But that just counts as one out (better than hitting into a double play actually) and is no different than making an out any other kind of way (ok so doesn’t move a base runner over – but that’s not a roto stat).

Mark Reynolds is on pace to hit 49HR’s, score 109 Runs, knock in 112, swipe 25 bases, and hit a respectable .278.

As far as I’m concerned he could strike out 300 time so long as those other VERY PRODUCTIVE STATS come along with it. - James Morrison
Jim (no relation to the dead Door’s guy) is a self proclaimed rotisserie expert. Jim has been participating in an serious Ultra-Rotisserie league (you can protect some minor leaguers too) at $2,600 per team instead of $260 (similar to Ultimate Franchise Baseball ™) for the past 17 years and has finished in the money 14 times with 8 First place finishes and over $260,000 in total winnings over the 17 year period. While the world is full of institutions and people that come with disclaimers on how past performance is no guarantee of future results, Jim is brazen enough to claim that it will be in your best interest to follow his advice going forward. He’ll write it, we’ll publish it and we shall see………
