After 20 games in 1956, Willie Mays was hitting .225. (Daft, call me)
tr305 wanted him released.
And no my point is not Jose Reyes is Willie Mays, my point is tr305 is an extreme reactionary who is poorly suited for following a sport that has a season comprised of 162 games.

Too many homers in here to have an honest debate. One thing about this place that frustrates me. Everything is always perfect day after day.

3 gotdamn runs in three games. No excuse for that even when in a slump.

What can i cite since he isn't doing a single thing good ?
That being said, I never said that Reyes was off to a good start, but citing HR (for him) and RBI (for anyone) doesn't prove anything. Right now, you can cite the fact that Reyes is only hitting .212 or so and he isn't hitting for any power and you'd be absolutely right. No one is going to argue that his first 20 games in a Marlins uniform aren't that great. The good news is that his walk rate is up over the last few seasons. Furthermore, his worst 2 months of his career are April and September. So he's a notoriously slow starter (and I guess finisher). Just gotta show some patience. Everyone's numbers look skewed because of the small sample size.

Not like they faced the Red Sox rotation.

No one is putting their heads in the sand. There are signs but it's a very small sample size. Omar Infante ain't hitting 40 homers this year. Giancarlo Stanton ain't hitting 10.
Furthermore, there aren't homers on this board. This board is as critical as it gets, especially with statistics. No one here is happy with the way the season has started, but it will get better and unfortunately, you'll probably make yourself look bad in the process.

But he's hitting .364/.453/.523!
And even though he's a career .235 hitter, I see no reason to judge him based on his lengthy career track record and instead of judge him solely on the first 20 games of the season.
Indians are SOOOOO lucky they're only paying him $1.75mil. He should be making JOSE REYES MONEY.

Just because this site isn't on fire with everyone running amock, doesn't mean that we aren't worried. We are.
But we can use the past to teach us about the future. We know who these players are on the field, and for better or worse, they'll meet close to our expectations.
20 games is nothing. 50 games is when shit's a serious issue.
