We should be more concerned about how the medical and training staff failed him in allowing him to come back before he was ready (the reyes at 80 percent quotes) and re-injure himself and now he is caught in a web of confusion regarding his own medical status. I sometimes wonder if people think he wants to be hurt, its obvious it was bothering him when he did talk about it and i can't see how he wouldn't want to be out there with his boys come on now, can we talk about something important like who will be our number 2 starter next year I agree with most of the posters on here, reyes is a great talent and i can’t believe out of everything that happened this year it is reyes people are harping over.

I don't think so, but, It is not the same without him. I have watched several plays that I said REYES would have made that. We need him back, and, at 100% Will REYES be the next Jeter?
