Ray, I really appreciated your comments on the Mets lineup if Reyes does slip down to the 3 hole while Beltran is recovering. It’s disappointing because I was looking for a nice bounce back year out of Wright at #3, partly the result of Reyes back at the top and Bay behind him for protection. Anyway, while I sweat that out before my draft next week, doesn’t it seem at times that Reyes is the engine that makes that whole team run?

Jim -
yep, it all stars with Reyes.
As I said in the video moving him to #3 is odd for many reasons. I think he could handle the role, but why when you have David Wright who is terrific in that spot?
Odd choice – let’s hope they abandon it by the time the games count.
