Out of how many?

Do really believe he can get an extension averaging 15 million now? I don't see it.

Here's Hanley: 09:$5.5M, 10:$7M, 11:$11M, 12:$15M, 13:$15.5M, 14:$16M

That's with one or two of those years being pre-FA-eligibility.

Rollins is a good measuring stick, but he signed back in 2006 and left them with an $8.5 million option this year, which was even more of a no-brainer than the Mets' option with Reyes. Suffice to say that their agents will be watching the other guy's negotiating.

But we know Jeter's going to get crazy dollars, and Reyes may not be Jeter, but he is a name on the marquee/face on the media guide/franchise identity player, and his agent is going to bring Jeter into the picture. Reyes is going to get paid.

i think it's totally meaningful that it took him until he was 23 to show that he was a star.

Mets have picked up Reye's option for 2011 but won't talk extension now. Reye's per his agent, will not talk extension during the season.

Wouldn't this suggest a Reye's trade before 2011 season ends?

Not so much outside of NY.

only if they don't intend on bringing him back for 2012.

I suspect it means Alderson has a billion things to do right now. But an extension could be worked out in a slow period, or in Spring Training.

Is anyone else stunned to think that we're entering Reyes' ninth season with the Mets?

I kinda like that we'll have Reyes singing for his supper this summer.

No more stunned than to think you are in fucking Washington shaping the future for us.....
