I’m just coming out and saying it: I have a man-crush on Cody Reed. I’m not sure how it came to pass. Perhaps it’s the goggles triggering me back to those heady hot-corner Sabo days. Maybe it has to do with the due diligence (such as it is) that I did when the Johnny Cueto trade went down. While everyone was rightly pointing at Brandon Finnegan as the linchpin of the deal, I told anyone who would listen that I thought Reed was the dude who would make the trade fondly remembered.
Whatever the reason, I root hard for Cody.
