Amen, its done routinely in baseball with very good players.
Barker is painful. I like Reyes offensively and think he can have an important 2nd half for us.
But handing out the mantra that Reyes,by mere osmosis, is an offensive juggernaut that supersedes his D issues glosses over the reality of 2015 Reyes.
It isn't 2011 and he hasn't been very good at leadoff offensively in 2015( even if one factors out the time played with injury). A 4.5% BB rate?
