Quote: A-Reyes is Talented on Defense

by Matthew Cerrone on July 11th, 2008 at 10:32 am

In his 13 at bats since joining the Mets on June 3, 2B Argenis Reyes is batting .308 with three runs scored.

He has yet to draw a walk, making his On Base Percentage the same as his batting average.

Jerry Manuel, on A. Reyes, while speaking to reporters following yesterday’s game:

“I did not realize that defensively he was as talented as I see now. We were trying to consider him as a utility player. Second base seems to be a place he’s very comfortable with and plays very well.”

…in short, he’s sort of like Anderson Hernandez Redux…
