I kind of feel sorry for the Mets...

EDIT: the only thing Reyes has on Ich is that Jose is a better SS lol.

Yeah I'd say Ichiro is definitely better, they're different players though. Even though Ichiro could hit for power he chooses to hit purely contact and can get on base virtually at will. Reyes can hit for average but tends to drive the ball more rather than going for the little hits. Ichiro>>Reyes IMO, both amazing talents though.

they were breaking down Ichiro's hitting & if he stayed balanced in the box, he could put up 35-40 HRs a season, that's insane.

^ Yeah I went to the HR Derby when it was in Seattle back on 01, I remember Ichiro taking BP and literally jacking like 15-20 in a row over the fence, the guy's just an all around animal haha.

the only thing Reyes has better than Ichiro is he can hit more extra base hits....which i dont care about as much from my LEADOFF hitter.
i'd rather have a guy hit .330 than .290 if he's leading off.

since Reyes became a full time lead-off hitter in 2004:
reyes per 162 games: .285/.334/.435, 196 hits, 34 doubles, 15 triples, 13 HR, 66 RBI, 113 runs, 65 SB, 16 CS, 83 K, 101 OPS+
ichiro per 162 games: .335/.380/.430, 232 hits, 23 doubles, 8 triples, 9 HR, 57 RBI, 106 runs, 39 SB, 7 CS, 62 K, 117 OPS+
as you can tell, Ichiro is going to get onbase ALOT more often, his slugging % is just 5 points below and his OPS+ dwarfs REyes.
Reyes may get more extra base hits (62 to 40) but Ichiro is still going to get 40 more hits a year!
Ichiro plays his position better defensively also....granted Reyes does play the more important spot, he doesn't play it as well.

You got off the subject hack, I'm not hurt. I put the nail in the coffin of your argument that the Mets should trade Reyes for pitching. You come back w/ Ichiro is better. Now defend your initial argument.
