We all know that this is just a dizaster waiting to happen. I beleive that whatever team signs him will waste all theyre money and be crippled… Literally… By him for the 6 yrs that they will give him.

Detroit has money coming off the books and the owner is willing to spend. I think Reyes-Jackson can coexist pretty easily in that lineup.

Peralta could play 3rd on days Reyes plays and SS when he is injured. That would pretty much solve the hole at 3rd, but still I’d rather have them spend it on a decent starting pitcher.

If i’m the Cards i let Pujols go and sign Reyes, whatever it takes.

I want no part of Reyes. This hamstring stuff is nothing new. I don’t care where he goes, the tweaks and DL stints will follow. He’s just Nelson Cruz at a different position. The worse thing it, though, is that he’s a runner. You don’t get to just constantly hurt your hamstrings and not have it takes its toll.
I don’t think I’d break 5/$75 million for him because I’d bet his SBs are in the 25-30 range by then, rather than that consistent 45+ he needs to get to be worth $100 million+.

You hit the nail on the head with your comment. He shouldn’t get Crawford type money even if he didn’t have injury concerns. Crawford’s grossly overpaid. Jose shouldn’t make more than Tulowitzki who IMO is the best SS in the game. And this is coming from a Met fan.

Sure as the sun comes up, someone will overpay for Reyes; I hope it’s not the Giants, who should have learned from the Zito and Rowand fiascos, but they do have a need and have money coming off the books after this season – Tejada $6.5million, DeRosa $6million, Ross $6.5million, J. Sanchez could be non tendered at $4.8million, Burrell $1million, Torres $3.5million, Affelt $4million. Those seven players, if none are re-signed, total $32.3 million. Rowand $13million comes off after next season and they could just eat the money and release or trade him.
That’s a lot of money available to sign players. They might do both Reyes and Beltran. I kind of hope they keep Beltran but hope they don’t sign Reyes because he’s breaking down more often in recent years.

Sure as the sun comes up … sly Fred ref?

With the Mets wanting to play younger players, wouldn’t it be better for them to shut Reyes down for the year, or limit his play? This could limit his appeared value to other teams, ensuring that the Mets would get the best deal.

Just from a PR standpoint it isn’t the most appealing move. Even if they did this earlier in the year, he would at the very least go a one year contract with another team. Play it out, reward the other team with a Type A ranking and get his 100 mil plus contract after the one year.
