Throwing Caution to the Wind
Lookout Landing wishes Jeremy Reed would be more careful with his body:
Perhaps all that grit, hustle, effort, and hard-nosed determination isn't worth the downside after all. Jeremy really ought to slow down, or at least start paying closer attention to Ichiro and taking notes, since he seems immune to even the most minor aches and pains. People don't talk about it very often, but there's a right way and a wrong way to be a balls-to-the-wall kind of player, and right now Reed isn't helping himself by fielding like a crazy person.
I remember a Bill James piece about Butch Hobson back in 1982 that made a very similar point.
