Talk:Doug Reinhardt

Untitled

There are several inaccuracies in this article. According to www.baseball-reference.com, Doug Reinhardt never played Major League Baseball. He was drafted by the Angels and played 88 games over three seasons in the minor league systems of the Angels and Orioles. Stating that someone is "known for playing baseball for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Baltimore Orioles" is a false statement, as he never played for either team. The teams that he played for are called the Arizona League Angels, Orem Owlz, and Aberdeen IronBirds.

Also, it is highly unlikely that his injury is why he stopped playing baseball. He skipped the 2005 season due to injury, but he played in 2006 and 2007. The reason he didn't play after that is because his lifetime batting average was .201 in Rookie League and low-A ball (which is very poor, for those of you who don't know baseball). No one signed him to a new contract because he wasn't a very good player. Effectively, he washed out.

Also, the assertion that he attended Pepperdine (and was accepted into their law school) prior to being drafted is also false. He was drafted as an 18 year old, straight out of high school (source: www.baseball-reference.com). In fact, few players who are drafted as late as he was (10th round) choose to play minor league baseball at age 18 if they are accepted into a good college, because they usually can become better players in college. This makes them more desirable to teams, leading to big signing bonuses if they wait a few years and enter the draft again after college.

I'm guessing that someone heard Mr. Reinhardt make these assertions on the "reality" TV show that he stars in, and accepted them as fact without checking to see if they were true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6033:57:590B:85B6:FA6C:A7D5 (talk) 11:49, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
