Mark Reynolds Strikes Out A Lot

And now he can do it Baltimore.  The Orioles pulled the trigger on a deal sending RHPs Kam Mickolio and David Hernandez to Diamondbacks for the ultimate feast or famine.  Reynolds hit .198 with 32 dongs and 211 Ks last season.

And the D-Bags didn't stop there.  Arizona also signed IF Melvin Mora and RHP J.J.  Putz.  Huh-huh, Putz.


A big trade along the Canadian border as well with the Brew Crew sending 2B Brett Lawrie (#2 in the system for 2010) to the Blue Jays for starter Shaun Marcum.  Given Lawrie's defensive struggles and an incumbent Aaron Hill, there is likely a switch to an outfield corner coming.  Apparently Marcum wanted an extension and the Jays were unwilling to pony up the cash.  I have no idea what that's like.
