Congrats to Reyes for the big pay-day. Well deserved for the year he's having.

He's going to miss out on a big time contract for 2009 and 2010. Good deal for the Mets though if Reyes stays healthy.

It makes perfect sense for both sides. Mets get him at a relatively low price and the oft-injured Reyes is set for life.

I still think he's the best overall leadoff hitter in the game.

Let's get Dwright locked up after the season. I'm saying 5 years, 40 million. Though, the Mets could potentially have to resign both Mets and Reyes both rediculous contracts in 2010. At their current rate, both guys should be at 15 million a year (in current 2006 dollars)
