(Note: I posted this a couple of days ago on my other blog at FanNation.)

When it comes to the Mets' starting rotation, I think all of their replacement-level options are better than Tim Redding. Redding's stuff is disgraceful, and his general approach to the craft of pitching is laughable. He's been embarrassed in his last two starts -- recently against the Marlins, and the Red Sox before that -- and there is little-to-no indication of potential improvement. I don't think there is any doubt at this point...

Is Jose Reyes happy again?
I think.  He's doing all of his crazy handshakes again, which actually had a bigger headline in the next day's newspaper than the Rangers-Devils playoff series.  Most would argue that while he's been better since his chat with Carlos Beltran, he hasn't been that much better.  But at least he's on the right track.  Leadoff hitters don't have the easiest lot, and he's still one of the best out there.  He'll be fine.
