I’ve lost confidence in Hank, watching him live in Cisco was an eye opener, quite frankly he doesn’t belongs in the bigs, which means he will turn things around.

He'd easily be the best defender in the OF not named MAT, and might hit a little.

This is a question not a disagreement. Is he really significantly better than Jack or Brian on defense? My gut feel is we are little 'romantic' regarding Palacios because of his big hits last year. While I believe some in players being calmer in certain situations, I certainly wouldn't bank on him repeating given his overall hitting profile. I personally think he should have been DFA'd at this point since he likely would still be in our system. IMO he had a magical 'clutch' season and that is likely not to happen again.

I do believe he's better on defense than Jack or Brian. Even from a metric standpoint, the only thing keeping Reynolds DRS from sinking is his OF assists. His OAA is abysmal: 124th out of 125.

As for the hitting, I don't disagree. Really, I'd probably even just DFA Palacios to give Gorski a go in the majors. Cause we're really just talking about the 4th OF option, assuming Jack gets his bat going again.

everytime that i have counted that guy out, which has been multiple times, he has proved me wrong with a game winning homerun

Meh i mean i have/had higher hopes for hank (and jack) than power guys with a high K rate. However, both of them tapping into power and continuing to have solid understanding of the strike zone would be a pretty significant boost over their replacements as we get into the meat of the season. Would certainly take that over what was going on before
