Yahoo, which is one of the leading sites in the world for internet news, has picked up on the Trade Reyes discussion.
“You could get an impact hitter or maybe a front-end starter for Reyes, and then go out and get a shortstop. Last winter a guy like Orlando Cabrera(notes) was out there forever. Obviously he doesn’t have the same talent, but he’s a heady player and that’s what you want from your shortstop.”

This story is going to get bigger. The “we didn’t bench him” cover-up is silly. Sports talk hosts now have a good topic. Bored beat reporters trapped on the west coast for a week and a half will write stories. Fat bloggers sitting on their deck on a Saturday afternoon will wax poetic.
As I have said and will say – Reyes is good but he’s over rated. I would trade him straight up for Jimmy Rollins in a second. The Phillies never would.
Since I like to toot my own horn I will point out that I told you on April 24th that if you want to break up “the core” it is Reyes that needs to go.
You tell me we could have a front line starter and live with “Orlando Cabrera” at shortstop? Done.
