I’m thoroughly enjoying my free viewership of Comcast’s Extra Innings package, unfortunately my tour around the country ends tomorrow. Maybe I’ll buy it, hey J.D.; can you lend me some cash so I can continue to watch the guy that I’m about to talk about?

I know you know I love Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Mark Reynolds, so I’m not going to come on here every week and recommend the guy, but I highly suggest you grab him before your fellow owners catch on.

Last season, the 24-year-old third baseman broke onto the scene with a .279 average, 17 dingers, 62 RBIs, 62 runs scored and a .843 OPS in 366 at-bats. Just watch his strikeout totals, he whiffed 129 times in 111 contests during the 2007 campaign.

On April 4, he broke out with a dinger and three RBIs against the Colorado Rockies. He’s young and has a true power stroke that will undoubtedly endorse his rising star. If you have room, take a chance on the University of Virginia alum, he’ll make you look very smart.
