Reynolds finally put it all together in 2009 with a monstrous season. I have trouble believing he'll post the same kind of gaudy numbers again in 2010, but he should be useful nonetheless. He trended down towards the end of the season, posting only 8 HR and 3 SB after August 17th, which leads me to believe the speed numbers may have been an aberration. He'll still be an excellent source of power from your corner position, but remember, a lot of his value is wrapped up in his speed numbers, which he may have trouble replicating. He's going to be overrated coming into the year, so avoid the temptation of spending one of your first five picks on him. Don't pay for one huge season when there are other, more proven players that you can get for better value. .250-95-40-100-15 in 570 AB

Positives / Upside	I think we got a pretty good look at Reynolds' upside last season -- .260-98-44-102-24. That's going to be tough to top, but we now know what he's capable of. .260-100-45-110-20 in 580 AB
Negatives / Downside	Potential bust factor. There's a good chance that Reynolds won't match the speed numbers and will need to keep his average at that .260 mark to truly be effective. Also stay away if your league counts strikeouts. .235-85-35-90-10 in 540 AB
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	28
