You make a very valid point about Reyes being overrated.  You veer off into insanity when you mention Pierre.  I have Pierre rated at the very bottom of my Outfield list simply because I think it is suicide to target any draft picks as compensation for another's shortcomings.  A more valid point would be to compare Reyes to Brian Roberts whose stats are very similar and goes anywhere from three to five rounds after Jose.  Getting back to Pierre.  Aren't I puttting myself in a bad position if, by taking Pierre, I force myself into Jeff Kent instead of Rickie Weeks because I need to make up HR?  You ask if the difference of 12 HR is worth the disparity in draft rounds.  I'll ask you if you've ever been in a league that was decided by significantly less than 12 HR.  I lost a league one year by the two K a pitcher got on the last day.  Roberts over Reyes? I can see that.  Pierre?  I want you in my league.
