I’m glad Matt touched on the whole ‘how Reyes goes the team goes’. That is ajoke that this team point s to one still young player and says, well if he’s not getting on, the team can’t win. Some one be accountable and stop placing the entire team on Reyes’ back. Some one step up and say if reyes goes 0-4, I’ll get on, I’ll hustle for an extra base, I’ll hit a homerun.

Matt, I mean this completely as constructive criticism, but….

GET TO THE POINT!

You’re not writing an article when you’re on the TV screen. You gotta have more short, concise points when you’re on TV.

Carlos Delgado is a huge problem for this team, not just because he can’t hit and doesn’t play any defense to make up for that, but because of his personality. Ok Ok, hear me out, this may sound a bit crazy. He’s THE veteran everyday presence on this team, the possible future HOF (seems less likely everyday), the guy with all the numbers, the guy you respect, blah blah blah. But the thing is, he’s not a “baseball” leader. Sure, you respect him, but he’s the kind of guy that is not going to show his desire to win, its like he has too much perspective on life outside baseball, winning games isn’t an absolute must, or at least not enough for him to show it. He’s never been on a winner, isn’t vocal about losing, isn’t vocal about winning either. He’s just too stoic to be a guy other guys on a team can fall in line behind and say, “we’re going to do whatever it takes to win, cause that’s what he’s doing” Instead, you fall in line behind Delgado and say, “i’m going to go about my business, stoically, and just do my thing, and that’s about it.” A guy like David Wright can’t take over the clubhouse because of a presence like Delgado’s. I’m not saying Delgado doesn’t care about winning, i’m sure he does, but he doesn’t show it, and when you’re the veteran presence on a team, guys fall in line behind you, and that seems to be a problem here.
Further more, I disagree with 2 things said in this piece, we did have a replacement for Alou Ted Berg, his name is Angel Pagan and he played quite well, but should Omar know he was going to be injured too? Also, Matt, what do these contracts given to young players have to do with trades? Trading of players usually always has happened when a guy is closer to free agency, not 1 or 2 years into the big leagues, which is when these young players are being signed.

Guys like Evans and Carp are at AA, making it harder to push them.

it would solve the whole kazmir thing.
