Reyes and Betancourt

By Tangotiger, 06:03 PM

Dial’s ZR hated Jose Reyes early in his career, and now it thinks he’s great. The data’s just not good enough - yet - to take one year of defensive performance and use it to evaluate a player’s defensive abilities.

-- David Cameron

To be fair, most mets fans i know think reyes has actually gotten a lot better, not that he wasn’t measured properly in prior years.

-- Kyle S

What to make of this?
