#Mets have been told they'll receive the #Marlins' 2nd-round pick in 2012 draft, not 3rd-round, as compensation for Reyes

sorry if this was already posted

[Ralph]

not if Wilson is signed.

Reyes had fried chicken at Joe's Stone Crab w/ #Marlins. One official said he's still spooked by previous thyroid issue, avoiding shellfish

Reyes pulled a Bill Clinton

Still not high on Emilio Bonifacio just being handed a starting spot.

[Ramp]

I mean, he did earn it last year

it's not being handed to him

ALSO, GO TO THE BUERHLE THREAD ASAP!

Todd, when I negged you and said "get out of here" I meant it in a "c'mon, you can't seriously show up and come to this thread" and not a "go away and don't come back!" "get out of here"

I mean, he did earn it last year

it's not being handed to him

I would argue that Ozzie Guillen saying with "Reyes and Bonifacio hitting in front of Hanley" kind of points to him just being handed it.

I think he's earned it. This fangraphs article does a good job of explaining why he's so valuable:

I would argue that he fucking earned it in 2011.

[Beef]

Yeah, Ozzie is saying that quote of yours that you are unable to add context to because of the way Bonifacio played last year. Asshole

[Todd]

I would argue that he fucking earned it in 2011.

Meh. He was awful his entire career until last year. He still didnt walk much and struck out a ton. He should have a very short leash as last year could very will prove to be entirely flukey.

[Mainge]

Well the off-season isn't over, either. If the Marlins are as high on Cespedas as everyone says they are, he could end up not starting.

Meh=You're right.

Also, Bonifacio will be on a (relatively) short leash. Doesn't mean he didn't earn a spot in 2011.

Bonifacio seems to be a favorite of Ozzie and Beinfest. He had a good year last season. He will be given what should be considered a starting role. I expect him to be used as a supersub once again unless everyone that is given a shot in center shows they have no business being on the team. I'm not saying I don't expect him to get a large number of starts in center because as the roster stands right now I do but I would like to see players receiving days off and he is the perfect player to shift around.
