Rumored trade - Sori for Jose Reyes

Re: Rumored trade - Sori for Jose Reyes

well wilpon said there is no way reyes is being traded - but the a-rod situation... one never knows.. this proposed deal works for both teams.. 1) it will allow Soriano to play second base, not CF - thus also allowing Lanyce(sp) Nix to play CF for Texas.. 2) Texas will have a shortstop (+ the fact that Reyes doesnt have to move to second).. i hope this deal does not go down, however.. just because i want to see what tyoe of player reyes becomes..

It will last cause reports out of Port St' Lucie is that reyes looks good at second and he's coming along day by day. This is a no brainer deal. Im love Reyes but hey I want that star the shines right know, Soriano got about 10 more years left in him, I do it now.

Soriano is 28, I don't know if he has ten more years in him.
His glove is terrible, what happens when he's 33 and he starts to lose his speed and his range. Now he's a second baseman with no speed, a bad glove, who strikes out a lot. Sure he's going to his homers but the Mets don't need a defensive liability.
Like I said, if the Rangers were willing to throw in Mench and Cordero then I'd consider the deal, but if it's straight up Reyes for Soriano, I take Reyes.

How does a terrible infielder equate to a good outfielder?
This is all personal preference.
If I'm a Mets fan, I'd be happy with the direction the club is headed. If they get a good year out of Glavine and Leiter, then why can't they contend? They have perhaps the best defensive tandem up the middle of the field in Kaz, Reyes, and Cameron. Art Howe knows what he's doing. One thing Howe didn't like in Oakland were free swingers who K'd alot. I doubt he'd be pushing to tack on one in New York. Mets are fine offensively, I'd be more worried about getting pitching and keeping runs off the board then picking up a defensive liability who's going to help opposing teams put runs on the board.

Mets are not "fine" offensively, they stink! The only players who are capable of putting up big numbers are Piazza and Floyd. Their infield production would be lacking. I doubt Mets trade away Kazmir, their best pitching prospect. This is a team that too is desperate for young arms.

Is this some kind of a joke? In the outfield, Sori won't be restricted from using his full athleticism, as opposed to IF. His main job would be tracking down flyballs, while in the IF he mostly gets to field the grounders and turn the double play(which he isn't polished at). In the OF, ge gets to take advantage of his speed, as opposed to letting it rot away in the IF. Plus, he has a strong arm. And don't worry, his body ain't breaking down any time soon nor is his speed going to dissapear. He ain't Roger Cedeno.
Oh, and for the record, he ain't a terrible IF, either. He's an above-average. He does manage to boot routine plays, but he also makes plays at second that others aren't capable of.
