Considered by many to be the best
prospect in baseball, Reyes will have a chance to make the majors
out of spring training. Reyes, who will turn 20 in June, hit .288
with 8 HRs, 26 2Bs, 19 3Bs and 64 RBIs in Class A and Double-A last
season. He also stole 74 bases. Mets are counting heavily on Reyes
in the near future.
