The Marlins could desperately use a traditional leadoff man (and better defense at shortstop), but Reyes is a bad idea for a LOT of reasons. <br /><br />1. A lot of teams will be looking for a SS this season and Reyes is sure to get a contract that the team will come to regret.<br /><br />2. Reyes is an injury NIGHTMARE.<br /><br />3. Happy Hanley doesn't play hard, do you really want to see how unhappy Hanley is going to play? (Think Manny Ramirez ).<br /><br />4. The assumption that a player will automatically improve defensively switching from SS to 3rd is just wrong. Not to mention how it can take focus away from a player trying to work on his hitting after a down year. Learning a new position is always hard especially for someone who doesn't want to be there and isn't going to put the effort in. Also, Hanley's biggest problem wasn't range, it's double-clutching every f***ing time he throws the ball! I think you will see a lot of errant throws with Hanley at 3rd (not to mention people beating out infield singles). Just my 10 cents.MarlinsMafiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340848741503734032noreply@blogger.com
