It was also discussed in NewsdaySoriano for Reyes?- Newsday
I think Hedcold has it down. Reyes is only 20, and looking good.
For every fan that says its a slam dunk to take Soriano I have one question: would you trade Soriano straight up for Jeter? Many Scouts think thats what Reyes will be - a D. Jeter/ E. Renteria. - Excellent defense, great speed, and smarts. Now maybe he wont be that, but if you are the mets and at least 2 yrs away, you're probably better off in Shea with that type of player (and then signing Maglio Ordonez in offseason)
