Someone increase the "Reyes is the most exciting player in baseball" counter.

I'm not worried for tonight's game that the Mets shelled the vet and now get the unproven player. Like someone mentioned earlier, this is the game the Mets were more likely to lose. Hopefully El Duque can recover after being thrown out of the game in his last outing. I doubt it should effect him, but I guess it could.

I don't know if this table can be seen without a subscrition, but Jose Reyes is currently third in the majors in VORP, with 11.0. (A-Rod is first with 15.5). He's done a great job of improving his walk rate and becoming a legitimate lead-off hitter; really proved me wrong.

Let's not forget his defense this year, which has been consistently spectacular. I almost never watch the Astros, so I don't really have much other than numbers (and respect of people whose opinions I trust) to judge Adam Everett by, but really, how is it possible to play SS any better than Reyes has so far this year?

Eh, Beltran in the two hole seems to be working I guess. Lol.

Adam Everett has played short better than anyone in (recent) recorded history. Even as well as Reyes is playing defense this year it seems a long shot that he's as good as Everett. But given Reyes offense, does it matter? What next, you want him to cure cancer as well? Be satisfied with Mr. Most Exciting as valuable as he is and hope he never gets hurt...

At this point I think Willie could reverse the order and the Mets will still score 8 runs. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't think he was saying Reyes is better defensively than Everett. In fact he gave Everett his kudos for his glove work in his post. He was just saying that Reyes has been great defensively so far this year and when you add that in to his offensive production there might not be another shortstop in the majors you would rather have.

He was thinking total package...at least that's how I read it.
