Doubt it.
I'll take this one guys.
He hit .307 in 274 ab's last year, his stats in the minors show this is no fluke either. He is a star in the makings and you recently gave Luis Castillo a proctological examination because that's where your hand is.
Forget the man crush. I drop what I'm doing to watch Zack Greinke pitch.

Remember, these games have been like Reyes spring training. He has definitely looked awful at the plate at times and was hacking. But there has been a noticeable improvement lately. He'll get his OBP up around .330 pretty quickly. Granted, that's not going to win any awards but it's certainly better than what you're alluding to.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
I just picked up Reyes to cover for Vidro's nagging knee injury. I can use the boost in SBs too. I really don't want to go scouring the waiver wire during the playoffs to find a replacement at 2B.
Between Huff, Craig Wilson and Reyes, I've got a backup at every single IF position + 2 outfielders.

Ive already beat you to it. Ive called him an ass, idiot and a retard in various posts. No biggie cuz everyone in the cafe knows hes just trying to stir up controversy because it makes him feel big.
[quote="Krassotti"]I have Durham currently. Would you drop him for Reyes?[/quote]
without a doubt... reyes is a monster on the base paths lately... whenever he gets on hes stealing a base in the last week... even third base if its a double... hes hitting better and he hasnt even hit his power stroke... granted his biggest fantasy upsdie is steals but lets not forget this kid can slug 15 hrs once hes fully healthy in the swing of things... hes the real deal, a true phenom... if hes available, grab em while you can, cause he wont be there long

I'll vouch for that...he's been carrying my team in SBs lately. Grab him now before it's too late if he's available.
