Well, I am certain that there will be a number of folks who read this and think you are nuts.

It should probably be noted that the league that I play with you is <b><i><a href="http://baseballmanager.com" target="_blank">baseballmanager.com</a></b></i> (BBM), which depends largely on great pitching and great power hitting, so Reyes is less valuable in that league.

In standard 5x5, I submit that Reyes is still a monster who will guarantee you a top 3 finish in the SB category single-handedly.  So, in standard 5x5, I would much rather have Reyes over Troy.

In BBM, however, I agree with you completely.
