I didn't know the numbers but I knew that the last thing your team needs is someone who strikes out 120+ times. Watching a lineup that strikes out a lot is torture and the Mets need players who can make consistent contact. I said the same thing about the Yankees when someone mentioned Soriano coming back. In a good lineup, you don't want to have any more than 2 guys who will strike out over 100 times. |

ET don't believe everything you read, reyes doesn't K alot, he's only K'ed 67 times in 494 at bat's so relax, also i think cameron will be batting 7th or 8th in the lineup next season so that whole top 6 hitters thing is bullsh*t!!! |

Yeah the Reyes thing was bullsh*t. I think what they were trying to say is that Jose doesnt walk much. |

If Jose wants to re-establish himself as an elite young player then he better make contact. As long as Reyes hits .330, he doesnt have to walk because he'll already get on base 33% of the time just from hitting. This year though, when he came up, Reyes it about .260, which led to a VERY low OBP. As a guy who is supposedly a leadoff hitter, he'll need to be about .350 at the very least. I personally feel Matsui would be a better leadoff hitter, he gets on base more. |

i agree about reyes but disagree about matsui, reyes is like jeter, he isn't really a leadoff hitter but the mets have no one besides him that can hit at the top of the order! matsui IMO is better suited batting 2nd, he's a better situational hitter then reyes, if you notice last season when the lineup was clicking for a short while kaz would move runners over and play smart baseball (perfect for a #2 hitter), i think him and reyes are fine batting 1st and 2nd in the lineup!!! |

How is Reyes like Jeter? Jeter has a career OBP of .385. |

in the sense that they both aren't really leadoff hitters but they are batting leadoff cause their teams have no better hitters to bat in that spot!!! :peace: |
