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…
The baseball is for emphasis, man. You know like political commentators and their pens.
Bob Dole likes.
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.
Rollins won MVP because people thought he was a leader and he hit 30 HRs.
HRs and RBIs still mean everything in MVP races.
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.
I hope you’re right.
I would just like to see someone win it that didn’t hit 30+ HRs, you know?
If they are deserving.
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 will at Saturday night’s game…I wonder how loud I can get people…
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
no he wont win because he will only have around 20 HRs and not enough rbis
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?
You’re commenting about J. Reyes? Jeeze, you have bigger problems b/c you’ve got Jimmy ‘our fans are frontrunners’ Rollins – HAHAHAHAHA.
And you don’t know who Matt Cerrone is? That says it all….
Who said I was a Phillies fan? And, seriously, who is this Matt Cerrone?
Can’t blame you. If I was a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies right now, I wouldn’t admit it either….
Matt Cerrone? You obviously are not a Met fan. You’re commenting on his blog, dude…..You know – metsblog.com.
Gullable Gary
He’s not even the best SS in the east. Discussion over, move on.
move along, troll.
Why am I a troll? Are you disagreeing with me that Reyes isn’t the best SS in his own division?
And say he isn’t better than Hanley, which is debatable, then which other SS is better than Reyes?
Let me hold back my laughter from whomever else you propose…
Who’s better? Rollins? Give me a break…
In all of the MLB right now though its pretty much Ramirez and Reyes at SS then everyone else.
There is no debate. Hanley is the better player. Thats all. I didn’t mention Rollins. I simply said hes the not the best SS in his own division. So hostile
Actually there is a debate. Hanley and Reyes have the same number of win shares. And their VORP and WARP are both really close.
he may be a troll, but he may also be right. hanley’s D has improved quite a bit this year.
Yeah, but saying “OMG he’s not even the best SS in his own division!!!!” is stupid when the 2 best shortstops in all of baseball are clearly Reyes and Hanley Ramirez.
So his point is pretty meaningless.
I don’t think it’s meaningless, if it’s accurate. That florida’s in the race at all may be flukey, but he’s certainly the most valuable player on it, and the drop off behind him is huge. He’s got a pretty good argument for being mvp. I mean, I certainly don’t want to see it happen, but it wouldn’t be as ridiculous a choice as rollins was.
I don’t think you get what I am saying.
I guess I don’t. You’re saying his point is meaningless becasue these two are the best SS, and the difference between them is slim, and therefore to say it in a “nah-nah” way as he did is ridiculous? Ok, if that’s what you’re saying, I get you.
Yeah, that’s what I meant. It was hard to explain!
I think we need tone-of-voice and hand gesture icons here…things would be a lot easier. do it, Omar!
I don’t know if I would call Hanley Ramirez a “shortstop.”
Hanley has no heart.
the mets would have to make the playoffs for him to even be considered and mvp
I think it’s Ludwick or Pujols.
out of those 2 ludwick deserves it more than pujols
*spit take*
whaa? why?
