Any opinions on Jackson in Forbes never used that park yet.

Waivers end today any opinions appreciated

Reggie's offensive benefit is his power, which you will lose in your park. His defense is excellent, but for Forbes, RFs like Meusel, Clemente, Furillo, even Valentine, are a better fit, and they still have the great D. Even pitching teams need some power, but usually try to get guys like Simmons (for example), who bring on base and average along with their power. For the $$, I don't like Reggie in Forbes. Only way I would consider keeping him would be if the other parks in my division were all slugging parks, and I couldn't find a more suitable RFer.

LOL...that's exactly what I was thinking before I read the reply.

Not just power offensively. OBP and speed too. At least against righties. The issue is really, is he a good value in Forbes? Maybe, maybe not. Probably not.

Reggie is the least of your concerns. You need improvements at SS and 3rd base.

Not Forbes, but here is [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg2/team/team_other.html?user_id=92326]Reggie in West Side[/url].

Reggie is absolutely KILLING me on this team:

Hey imperial I'm in the same league as you so I don't feel that badly that Reggie is doing terribly :D . But good luck to you since you still have a chance unlike me and thanks to all for the input.

I've got Reggie at Riverfront , 1st week , and he's not over the Mendosa line. Thus far as disappointing as can be . :(
