05/07/2012 20:38 Mark Reynolds is on the who's hot list
Baltimore third baseman Mark Reynolds is on this week's who's hot list. The Fantasy Baseball 360 crew has more.
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. (Updated 1/27/12)
