Will Reid Brignac amount to anything? Been sitting on him...

[AKA Coastal]

Anyone else have a pile of Brignac they've been sitting on for awhile? He showed alot of promise in '06 ,but hasn't done much since then. He went 0-10 with 5k after he was called up last year to the big leagues. Is it time to move on?

sorry man, reserve infielder, starter on a bad team at best

Thats what I figured. I'm digging through my boxes. Time for some spring cleaning.

I still like him.

PM me if you want to move yours....

I like the kid, however with the signing of Burrell i think he is pretty much blocked for now from playing. He is still young though so if Burrell is only around for a year or if Brignac gets traded to a team that could use him i think he could be an average everyday player.

EDIT: Im a tool, i dont know why i assumed he was an outfielder. :lol:

Either way i still like him, and like i said he is still young so you never know.

He's only 23 ,but his K's have been going up and power numbers have been going down. I got in on him real low ,but probally should have sold in '06. I've got 10 '04 elite auto's.

Well, he's a Louisiana boy so I have faith in him.

I, for one, totally disagree. No offense Chris, but Brignac is still not projected as a reserve. I don't think he'll turn into Hanley Ramirez, but a projected full-time starter on a competing team with slight power is more like it. His defense is also solid. Look for him to be J.J. Hardy minus a little power.

You are reaching.

He was rated the best defensive SS in the AAA International League last year, so if he can get the bat going at all he's a major league regular.

I don't see why he couldn't still be a star for Tampa, but if i didn't see good signs early this year, i'd think about moving them.

Yea, I read a good article on his defense. Its what might keep him as an attractive option until his offense rolls around (if it ever does). I just don't understand why his power numbers have dropped from '05-06. He was pretty highly touted for awhile.

Well if you've been sitting on him, of course he's going to have difficulty when he's hitting

2008 was kind of a lost season for Brignac. He had the injury at the end of the year, and his K rates were pretty off. If he can ever get back to 2007 form, watch out.. he could be very good.

Hah..I was waiting for someone to say that. I kinda of questioned my title after I posted it.
