Matt is right… Reyes is amazingly and quietly the best player in the NL bar none, but we just don’t know HOW good…
One thing though, whats up witht the baseball in Matts hand? Akward…

Let Wright have the vitamin water ad…Reyes MVP!

I think it was great that Rollins won the MVP last year. Too much emphasis has been put on home runs and RBI’s. I’m glad that appears to be changing. Reyes is the complete package. Speed, defense, hits, total bases, stolen bases, extra base hits etc. etc. He can do it all. He is the player on the Mets most teams fear the most. He is the National League MVP if the season ended today.

Anyone remember earlier in the season when we were playing the Rockies and the announcers were saying the shortstops in the NL rank as follows:

1. Hanley Ramirez
2. Troy Tulowitzki
3. Jose Reyes

I don’t remember which announcers they were, but still….

Another thing about Reyes. I love that he is stealing less and Manuel has been calling for more hit and runs. Stolen bases are great, but they can be an overrated statistic. Hitting and running is where it’s at. I grew up watching the Mets battle with the Cardinals in the 80’s and then of coruse the early 90’s Braves teams. They would first and third us to death. That’s what we seem to be doing now, at least in the first few innings to the other teams. I love it!

Danny,
You’re right home runs and RBI’s still mean a lot. However, Matt Holiday and others other blew Rollins away in those categories. I just feel (or maybe just hope) the game is coming back to reality a little bit after the steroid and juiced ball era. Hopefully Reyes receiving consideration for the MVP is part of that trend.

Is “Jose Reyes isn’t immature” the new “Daniel Murphy means business?” :-)

I hope the fans start chanting M V P when Reyes comes through.

I like that you cussed Matt. It stinks that they only give you a minute, you deserve your own show.

Reyes won’t win because he has become the whipping boy for writers who are turned off by on-field emotion

if Robinson Cano threw his glove or tried to refuse his managers orders in front of all to see, i think it would be a big deal … I don’t understand the logic that it wouldn’t be … just b/c Reyes is talented and playing well doesn’t mean those prior actions weren’t bothersome.

I’d take either him or wright for mvp. I guess it’d be tastier if jose won it, so maybe all the media can stfu. Yes, I’d prefer that.

HAHA, delusional mets fans. There isn’t anyone more immature than Jose Reyes in baseball. And the best season since Honus Wagner? WOW…who is Matt Cerrone by the way?

He’s not even the best SS in the east. Discussion over, move on.
