FWIW, a poster on the Globe forum has been drawing comparisons between WMB and Mark Reynolds. At first that sounds a little outrageous, but the more you look at it, it's not that far-fetched. The main differences - Reynolds strikes out more, but also walks a lot more. He's more of a TTO hitter I guess. But in terms of OPS, streakiness and productivity, the comparison might be valid. Time will tell.
