Reyes Prediction Contest!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Which team will Jose Reyes play for in 2012? Tell me what you think will happen, not what you want to happen. And be honest with yourself (and us). And be ready to stand behind your pick.

I think he's worth more to the Mets than anyone else. The thing you can't predict is that some owner might go nuts and do something that makes no sense, like the Werth contract, or even ARod's Texas contract.

I think when all is said and done he will be back with the Mets.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I feel like he's a goner.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think it all hinges on how willing he is to negotiate during this exclusive period. I think he'll be back, but it's a very weak feeling. Maybe I'm at 51%.

I do wonder what the perception of him is around the league with General Mangers , he seems to get his share of negative media on everything , injuries, celebrations, at bats, nakedness.

Jose will sign with the Mets because:

1. His injury history will reduce his open-market value, if only a little bit;
2. His value to the Mets exceeds his on-field performance and allowing Reyes to walk is the first step towards an even larger attendance hemorrhage than has happened the past 3 seasons.

Marlins, and yes I did read Pat Flood.

I took the Orioles!
I don't think there is going to be an overwhelming number of teams
rushing to throw a lot of cash at Jose and his agent's feet. He's worth
more to the Mets, especially with the sickening past number of years, and
his popularity.

Would be funny if the Gnats signed him to a ridiculous contract
and he was continually on the DL.
