I thought the topic of this discussion was a once promising oft injured OF w/personal problems.

He never learned how to get the most out of medium speed. It's not about half assing, it's about getting better reads on balls, pitches, and other things, which allow you to not have to go so hard every play.
A body breaks down after too much of that.

That's in the running for the dumbest post ever printed. If you don't go full out, you can hurt yourself, I agree. However, there's no no such thing as cumulative trauma as you suggest. Also, Reimold has excellent speed.

Reading that post too much is cumulative trauma however.

Incorrect. It was about about a player who is oft injured. His personal problems were never mentioned by the original poster and are something that occurred last year. The only reason you put that in there was to divert the conversation away.

Typical troll. Tries to make the conversation about himself and then cries when someone calls him out on it.

If you make a lucid comment then maybe you won't get "attacked".

I think Reimold is beginning to really look like a bust. I actually thought so about the time he got sent down to AAA in 2011 to be honest. But it looks even more obvious now. Still, you never know. No harm in letting him rehab, report to spring training, and see if he can finally realize some of that potential.

You just don't slot him in for anything. If he's actually healthy *and* plays well enough to win a job, great, but you conduct things as if he won't and then figure it out if he shocks the world. I think we have found our left fielder in Nate McLouth, and Xavier Avery may earn a look in spring training. There's even the slim possibility Angelos finally opens the vaults and gets us a super star. There's a whole other set of guys there now, and Reimold is not going to be handed anything, he's going to have to prove himself. That's baseball.
