Reggie's appendicitis during Spring Training didn't daunt his quest for a 30/30 season. Unfortunately, Jimmy Edmonds did.

ONFIELD

1. Defense
   i. Hustle (10) He tries. 8 points.
   ii. Agility (14) I keep remembering his spill in the NLCS; it was this year's "Suppan." But he's in remarkable shape. 11 points.
   iii. Catcher (5/0) N/A. 0 points.
   iv. Awareness (8) He takes some...interesting routes to the ball. 6 points.
   v. Defensive Stance (8) Pretty good. 6 points.
   vi. Pitching Face/Post-strike out (5/0) N/A. 0 points.
2. Offense
   i. Hustle (10) I hate that freaking home run hop, but I can't recall it costing him the way it did with Sammy. Reggie's still got some wheels. 9 points.
   ii. Batting Stance/Face (12) Not bad. 9 points.
   iii. Power & Average (12) If his leg hadn't been broken, he probably would have gotten his 30 home runs. Average isn't so super fantastic, though. 9 points.
   iv. Pitcher's bunting ability (5) N/A. 0 points.
   v. Selflessness (14) Everyone says he's a team guy. 13 points.
   
3. Dugout/Clubhouse
   i. Press Conferences/Interviews (8) Reggie always knows where the cameras are. 7 points.
   ii. Quotes (8) Pretty standard. 6 points.
   iii. Chatty (8) Yes. Yes, he is. 8 points.
   iv. Fights (6) It's part of being a team player. He did side with the phone last October, though. 5 points.

OFF FIELD

1. Personal Hygiene (16) Fit, good dresser, great smile. 16 points.
   
2. Commercials (local) (8) No. 0 points.
   
3. Commercials (national) (10) No. 0 points.
   
4. Commercials (MLB) (10) No. 0 points.
   
5. Dress (10) Punk rock t-shirts? Very nice. 10 points.
   
6. Rumors (6) Not really. 0 points.
   
7. Awards (6) He was an All-Star. Ten years ago. 2 points.

Reggie get 125 points. I'm kind of on the fence with re-signing Reggie. He's old and next year is an even year. However, signing and/or trading for two outfielders will be difficult and I'm not sold on a Taguchi/Rodriguez platoon.
