We should trade Jose Reyes for a ace
From 1990-2007, only one team won a world series without one great ace. That was the 2004 FL Marlins. I feel we have a chance at: Jake Peavy, Johan Santana, Danny Haren (but we must get crosby in the deal as well), Brandon Webb, Roy Halladay then we should do it. Pitching is much more important than a leadoff hitter. Although Jose is only 24 and has the potential to be as good as Ricky, fact is teams win with great pitching and we don't have that.
a staff of: (Ace)/Pedro/Maine/Perez/Pelfrey is very impressive and will solidify our chances at a WS.
Reyes isn't even the best SS in his own city (Jeter), let alone division (Hanley)...

Um, Jake Peavy just signed an extension with the Padres, so he's very unlikely to be going anywhere. And I seriously doubt a small-budget team like the Diamondbacks would trade a relatively cheap ace for a pricier SS when they already have Stephen Drew on their roster. Also, calling either Haren or Halladay an

gold glove calibre defense, fastest player in baseball, lead off hitter, power, average, obp increased every year, OUR WHOLE OFFENSE.. remember that huge lead we blow and all the 1-2 run offenses we put up.. guess who was slumping?? jus guess.. also look at our win/loss when reyes performs and when he doesnt.. he is more vital to this team than ANY PITCHER could be.. i mean 1 slump and he sux? 1 slump? not even a bad season. ONE SLUMP.. some of you are out of your minds, ive never seen anything like it.. reyes is the mets

Here is a equation for everyone that wants to trade Reyes. Now lets take a lesson from Professor Reyes.
- Reyes Hot = Win.
- Reyes Normal = Win.
- Reyes Cole = Lose.
Its as simple as that, Reyes drives this team. He slumped the second
half and we went into a downward spiral. Reyes gets on base, he proceeds to steal them and causes havoc. He takes pressure off of the hitters and puts a smile on everyone faces. You dont break up Wright and Reyes, you just dont.
Just about every team in baseball would salivate at the idea of getting Reyes, yet people want to move him. Amazing. 24 years old, all star and only getting better.

I realize that it's easier to fill the short stop position with a stud than get a top, #1 in the rotation pitcher - so, value wise, I get the suggestion.
But I just can't in my heart - feel good about trading Reyes for Santana. If the Sox offered Beckett and Papelbon for Reyes - I'd do that, but, it would take 2 pitchers for me to accept.
I'm with Omar on this one - "no trading Reyes or Wright" I'd rather go into next year with Pedro as our #1 than trade either of those guys.

Bill Clinton slept with an intern. A consenting adult and he got impeached and nearly disbarred as a result. Donald Trump went to parties showcasing underaged women brought in as basically prostitutes, and he says it's nothing.
Double standard?

It goes beyond that. I'm starting to get bad vibes from Reyes. He's starting to develop bad habits, as well as cop a bad 'tude. Just like Milledge, we might regret not trading a chip at its highest value for the best pitcher in the game.

Somebody posted that - said he had it on good authority, but the rumor (on this board anyway) was shot down, because Baseball has random drug testing. It's the kind of thing a player probably wouldn't get away with.
So, there was a "rumor", but as far as the legitimacy to the Rumor - survey says "Highly Suspect". - now if anyone has more info - please post, but till then - this rumor is toast.
