I think Reyes could easily hit 10-15 home runs within the next couple years, perhaps more beyond that. He's like 22 years old.... Rollins is just coming into his own now and he's at that magical age of 27.
If Reyes improves his plate discipline this year and actually learns how to take pitches, he'll easily be one of the league leaders in SB's and Runs scored (with Beltran, Delgago, Wright and Floyd hitting behind him... yikes, the Mets look great this year!).
Jeter, Derek Rollins, Jimmy Furcal, Rafael Reyes, Jose
Peralta, Jhonny Lugo, Julio Crosby, Bobby Garciapara, Nomar Barmes, Clint Hardy, J.J. Guillen, Carlos Renteria, Edgar
Uribe, Juan Caberra, Orlando Greene, Khalil Eckstein, David
Gonzalez, Alex (Bos) Wilson, Jack Vizquel, Omar
I like Reyes over Furcal and Rollins myself. If you get a SS that swipes some bases with 8-15 HR power, I want the guy that gets me 60 SBs, not the one with 40....but that is me.
Let me know when Reyes hits 15 HR. So far he is all hype other than his speed.
He hit 7 last year. He is young and certainly could ratchet that up a few more.
So if you rather have Rollins and his 12 Hrs and 41 Sbs as opposed to Reyes with 7 Hrs and 60 Sbs that is your perrogative. They are essentially the same in value, but since their main function on the roster is SBs, I rather take my chances with the guy with 20 more SBs and get those 7 or so Hrs back somewhere else in the OF and therefore not need to add another Aaron Rowand type to my squad.
you're ignoring their respective differences in average, rollins' is significantly higher, about 20 points actually.
you can't live the dream, if you don't play the game
Regarding Lopez, he was in my rankings, but I dunno what happened. I added Crosby right before I pasted my list on here and I did some edititing to do it, so I think I accidently cut Lopez.
As to Reyes and Rollins, I appreciate the discussions. Great points from all. The thing that really worries me about Reyes is his lack of taking pitches. Also like the last poster said, Rollins has a lot better of a Batting Average.
You have no frame of reference, Donny. You're like a child who walks into the middle of a movie...

why don't we give Peralta one more year to prove himself before we put him on the same level as Jeter aye? Besides, Peralta does not run at all and that does not help you in fantasy. probably what will keep Hardy from being an elite fantasy SS as well.

I guess that means Tejada is not an elite fantasy SS either...
I'll take Peralta's numbers at SS anytime...steals or no steals.

no. I did not say that at all. Peralta is just not in the same league as Jeter or Tejada...not by a long shot. Give him 2-3 years and if he puts up 25+ HR, 100+ RBI and a .300 avg then we will talk about Peralta (sounds like you own him).
