Note: Jose Reyes is tied with Mookie Wilson
By Matthew Cerrone - Sep 4, 2008 9:39 am

Jose Reyes is now tied with Mookie Wilson for the most stolen bases in team history.

By the way, Reyes took over the club record for triples from Wilson on July 20.

Reyes is on pace to hit roughly .300, with 15 home runs, 70 RBI, 15 triples, 40 doubles, 115 runs scored and 60 stolen bases.

As you may recall from 2006, the last shortstop to hit .300 with 50 stolen bases, 20 doubles, 15 triples and 10 home runs was Honus Wagner in 1908 for the Pirates.

Needs to say, 200H instead of .300 or you need to include Juan Samuel 1984, which shouldn’t be in the same league because he had an OBP of .307.

And obviously needs to have Reyes 2006.

Wagner’s 1908–100 years ago–201H, 100R, 53SB, 39 2B, 19 3B, 10HR, 108RBI, 967 OPS.

Uh…Reyes already has 18 triples. He needs 3 more to tie the Met record of 21. (I believe Lance Johnson holds the Met record).

You’re right. Lance Johnson established the Mets record for triples in a single season back in 1996 with 21. Johnson also is the only Met to record 200 hits in a season, which he did in ‘96, with 227. Let’s hope Jose reaches the 200 platueau.

i feel like we’re the only people talking about him for MVP too…the thing is, we got 2 other LEGITIMATE mvp candidates on the team in wright and delgado…and i remember the yankees having that “problem” a few years back and no one from their WS team won the mvp

in all honesty, i can care less, just win a WS MVP!!! thats waht counts

Comment by starz31

Yea I don’t care either…WS MVP would be ideal…

No Met will win if we dont make the playoffs simple as that. IF we do make it, then I think Reyes and Delgado will have good chances, but theres always that chance that Reyes, Wright, and Delgado could split many votes and thus all lose.

that’s what happened in ‘06, but with Beltran thrown in there too.

Yeah, too many MVP candidates is a good problem to have. However, this might cause issues during our home stand. Who does the crowd start up an MVP chant for? Reyes? Delgado? Possibly Wright? Maybe all three?

Uh, Matt, how can Jose Reyes be on pace to hit 15 triples when yesterday he established a new career high for a single season with 18?
Not to insult you, Matt, as I love the site, but seriously, how carefully do you edit your topics before you post them?
I’ve seen lots of grammatical and spelling errors — which, though very annoying to me, I can understand because of the haste in posting something — but factual ones like this strain credibility.

Comment by starz31

well a lot of them have been previously edited when they were originally posted. Matt likes to cut and paste tidbits from previous posts. And thats cool, but I agree, just a quick check would be cool.

Hey Hey no criticizing of matt. After all he is the almighty creator of this wonderful site. Better watch out Matt defenders will be jumping all over you soon.

Seriously I agree grammar and spelling issues are fine with me I can pick out 20 everyday in the newspaper but the facts need to be correct I don’t care how fast posts have to go up.

I agree. Not only is the triples number wrong as has been noted, but he cannot be “on pace” to hit .300 when he’s hitting .305. Because .305 is an average, he’s on pace to hit .305.

Math wasn’t your thing, Matt, was it?

i don’t see why there’s a “haste” in posting something like this. breaking news, sure. but for this kind of post, take 30 seconds and skim it over.

hopefully chrome will help here as browersers start to get a little more innovative and can add more features like those in word and excel…

matt means those are the plateaus he will reach, like people talk about 30-30 seasons when a guy has 34 homers and 31 stolen bases. it doesnt necessarily means he has exactly 30-30

Comment by hotchipwillbreakyourlegs
2008-09-04 09:57:13

oh wait, he’s still wrong. ha

Reyes leads all Mets in runs created. Really, a legitimate argument can be made that he as well as Wright, Beltran and Delgado all deserve serious consideration for MVP, though I would have a hard time voting for a player who totally disappeared the first half of the season.

We should just be grateful that they have so many young players producing MVP-type seasons at the same time.

not that its a big deal but reyes and wright are both tied in runs created at 110

2008-09-04 10:17:09

I used ESPN’s stats. As of today, they list Jose with 109.1 RC, and Wright with 106.3. S
