Reynolds to stay at third after all: Earlier this offseason, there had been reports of the Orioles wanting to keep Mark Reynolds at first base next season. Reynolds had logged most of the starts at first base after the team traded Derrek Lee last season, but according to MLB.com, manager Buck Showalter has said that he now wants to move Reynolds back to his original position of third base. “You are going to see Mark start out at third base in the spring; that’s where we would like for him to play,” Showalter said. “We think Mark is a lot better than he’s shown statistically. I think he’s going to come in [to camp] lighter and little more nimble.” Showalter wants to use Chris Davis at first base in place of Reynolds. (Updated 01/12/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The move back to third base won't do much for Reynolds' Fantasy value this season, as he will already start the year as eligible at the position. However, he will have more value over the longer term if he plays at third base. For the coming year, owners can target Reynolds in the middle rounds of standard mixed league drafts.

Mark Reynolds has always been known as a strikeout machine, but he has become even more of an all-or-nothing hitter over the last two years. Reynolds' strikeout rate hasn't risen further, but he is hitting fewer line drives and grounding out more often, which has dropped his batting average below .225 for each of the last two seasons. His 24 steals from three years ago now looks like an aberration, so Reynolds doesn't do much besides hit home runs and draw walks. He does both of those things extraordinarily well, though, so despite his dwindling skill set, Reynolds is still worth targeting in the middle rounds of standard mixed league drafts.
