He is but he was outrighted off the 40-man roster last August. But yeah, I don’t think he’s played at all this Spring. He needs to go to Japan or something.

Minoso-Pierce-Allen-HOF Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 I have thought that AJ Reed could potentially end up in Japan where he would not just be a big man but in all actuality a giant. He weighs 275 and stands at least 6' 4" and whose power would test off the scale with his lights out power. Reed has an swing extension that reminds the viewer of some guy named George Herman Ruth. That comparison does not mean that Reed is comparable to The Babe in performance but his form is on display for all to see. If he were to go to Japan I suspect he would have potential to be a fan favorite. Still remember Reed was once a top 40 prospect and was passed by ROY Alvarez with the Astros. It is conceivable that AJ Reed may have had an injury issue last season as his drop in performance has no parameter in his career of such a drop. He could also end up with the Baltimore Orioles as one of the scouts formerly with Houston works now with Baltimore. If he stays in the White Sox organization it is conceivable they could shift him into a pitching role that he also was the top starter at UK while in college where he was Player of the Year as a two-way star. If he goes to Japan being a two-way player would be great for marketing ala Ohtani. I believe AJ Reed is from Indiana and despite his large size would seem comparable to former Oriole slugger Boog Powell or SF Giant great Willie McCovey. Good observation about Reed and Japan where he could make a nice living. Remember Luis Robert had a bit of a dud season in 2018 as he had a bad thumb something that appeared to effect Nomar Mazara last season with the Rangers. Did Reed suddenly lose it out? Was something wrong physically, mentally or emotionally that prevented him from being the player he consistently was. Japan is something I concur would be a good opportunity for Reed.

They are certainly more similar than dissimilar. Did those other guys get a chance at MLB or do we Zip release him now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minoso-Pierce-Allen-HOF Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Excellent article on Russ Langer. Guy would be such a nice replacement for Ed Farmer who is long in the tooth. I liked Ed as a color man but miss John Rooney who was a real play by play man. Nothing personal against Ed but he is not a play by play man. Good broadcasters make the game come alive. Thank you so much for sharing that article. Though some might disagree I enjoyed the broadcast last year with Bill Walton in the booth with Jason Benetti. One for the memory books which was funny and classic. The rebuild who be complete with a fresh radio voice and maybe consider putting AJ in as the third voice on television. Having Ozzie and Frank in studio is also good. Sox need more to catch Cubs who are the real competition something I am sure Uncle Jerry would like to achieve.

But figured he would have been NRI and didn't see his name listed anywhere, and haven't seen him pop up in any box scores. Makes me think he may not be with the org any longer.

Just tried checking myself. All I can find is his current team is listed as White Sox. Probably just not in big league camp. Seems like the kind of guy who will end up overseas soon.

Boomers on message boards man. There's another one on another baseball board that personally signs all his posts with his real name like he's writing a fucking letter to the editor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minoso-Pierce-Allen-HOF Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Italics are used to make it easier for the reader/responder to scan down and be able to easily distinguish who the original author of the content was/is. In a nutshell that is why it is done. It is courtesy for the reader to easily recognize a response to a comment or question from the originator of the message.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really not trying to be a dick and can respect your logic for using the italics, but in all honestly it makes your posts much less friendly to read. I would highly recommend changing your style or people will likely skip through your posts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and respect the other posters by not double spacing your posts and formatting them needlessly. Frankly most people will just put you on ignore if you keep it up, including myself. You have good thoughts and input but this isn't the place to just mindlessly put down everything that comes into your head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the “content and analysis” is really what’s important to you, then you should make the change. If you simply care about your pride, then stick with the italics. Again, I’m not trying to be a dick, was just trying to give you some friendly advice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it’s not helping anything and your obsessive use of carriage returns after single sentences is brutal. You are writing posts, not haikus. Add in all these carriage returns with your Caufield-length posts and you are making threads absolutely painful to scroll through.
