Busta Reims said:What really concerns me RE: Reyes is how far out of sync some of his numbers are with his career averages, especially being that he's doing so in a contract season. Now, it could be that, like Bautista last season, something has just clicked in for him this season, but, it's more likely that this season is an aberration and he'll go back to being the slightly above average bat he's been for most of his career while provide sub-replacement level defence and diminishing speed/injury prone legs.
I think there are two separate issues here. The first is whether or not the Jays need Reyes and, really, I'm not sure an argument can be made there. The second is whether or not Jose Reyes is being properly valued.
To me, the answer to both of those questions are an unqualified no. I just don't see how the Jays, who are realistically going to be limited to spending that kind of money on a couple players at best, can give Reyes 20 million or so a year.
