    The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a deal to obtain slugging third baseman Mark Reynolds from the Arizona Diamondbacks in return for minor league prospects, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.

    Arizona will receive right-handed pitching prospects Kam Mickolio and David Hernandez, the sources said.

    The 27-year-old Reynolds has 121 homers in four major league seasons, all with Arizona. He also has struck out over 200 times each of the past three seasons, including a major league record 223 in 2009.

    Last season Reynolds hit .198 with 32 homers and 85 RBIs.

    Such an ugly hitter. Would not want him on my team. His lack of OBP and ability to hit the ball outweighs his homeruns.

    Time to get that baseball forum up and running. :p

    Anyhow...Didnt realize he only hit .198 though still hit 30+ HRs. I suppose a good trade for each side?

    His numbers give Rob Deer a run for his money as most one dimensional hitter ever.

    Regardless, he plays good to very good defense at third. He's probably a net positive. He'd make a good #6, #7, or #8 hitter for a team with a bunch of other bats. He's probably going to have to be a #4 or #5 hitter in Baltimore which probably won't work out too well.

    85 RBI's would have made him Baltimore's team leader last year.
