Reyes – S/.279./.320/.417 Beltran – S/.295/.382/.508 (ZiPS RoS) Pagan – S/.306/.362/.466 Wright – R/.308/.383/.524 Davis – L/.258/.330/.448 Bay – R/.261/.352/.410 Castillo – S/.243/.345/.277 Barajas or Thole – R/.227/.264/.412 or L/.285/.349/.380 (ZiPS RoS) Mike Sielski may be on to something.  Reyes is best leading off.  Beltran’s high OBP …

We can’t let Polanco beat Wright.  Polanco has no reason to be leading in the all-star voting other then Phillie fans are idiots. Polanco ranks second in the National League in average at .318. He also …

Case, Mets

by charlies

Has anyone read Steve Popper’s article today? “When Perez stepped into a key role in the 2006 playoffs, it was Martinez who helped call pitches for Perez and keep him on target.
