What can Sanchez do that Marco Scutaro could not that it was worth paying this guy $1.3 mil?

Reyes should be ready no later that by June 1st, and if he took longer than that, and Scutaro failed in his audition, guys like Sanchez are eminently available via trade.

Perhaps he should try changing his uniform number. I don't know a lot about this Rey, but what I do know is that he has a good glove, and he's had a decent batting average in the past, something around the neighborhood of .275. Where that other stadium seems to be the fountain of youth - for some reason Shea seems to be the place players come to die but I'll give him more of chance. At least he doesn't make me want to bang my head against the wall yet like the previous shortstop named Rey.

OK I've seen enough. Now he annoys me, I didn't think it possible that someone could be worse with a bat than his predecesor Ordonez who is now hitting like crazy in Tampa Bay. What happened to this guy? He's got a lifetime career batting average of .275, I just can't understand this. It's just like that twilight zone episode where a bum finds a pair of shoes and lives the life of the previous person that was killed in them. If you saw that episode then you know what I mean, all of the Mets seem to find the same pair of shoes.

I've had it with this ingrate. What so-called leadership he was supposed to provide is nothing but leadership in reverse.

What steams me more than the haircut incident was the Mets/Expos game in San Juan where he took what seemed to be a year and a day to cover second base. Seo didn't throw that ball away; if you look at the replay, the ball was where most shortstops would be to catch it. And I don't think the "stomach virus" was exactly the reason why he came out of the game that night. Also, the cameras showed him to be unusually animated following that play. Could it be that Rey is the type of guy that can't accept personal blame for his own screw-ups?

Someone who shared earlier "memories" of Sanchez suggested why not Scutaro. I agree; Marco at the very least is a hustling, scrappy infielder who would have ably filled the gap until Reyes was ready. Unfortunately, we have this clown.

By the way, it's fat cats like Sanchez and Vaughn and Alomar and Trachsel that will prevent me from attending the 2003 Photo Day. Seeing this guys up close will more likely have me cursing them than taking their picture.

I know I'm in the great minority but Sanchez has been a solid player throughout his career and was a good pick up by the Mets. He had a bad April, but no sense throwing the towel in on him over a bad month. Piazza had a bad April as well. Rey started hitting and then got hurt. Over the course of this season I still expect to see him hit close to his .280 career average. Similar to Tony Fernandez, he didn't play well at first. Dallas Green was all too eager to get rid of an injured Fernandez and then he had a pretty good year after leaving. I think Sanchez will be fine.

Goodbye to garbage. Boy this this guy stink. Another one who was decent for everyone else until he got to Shea. Maybe he can get a better haircut somewhere else.

Frank, I would tend to agree with you that Sanchez was not that big of a problem but since being traded he has called the Met locker room a tomb and has stated how happy he is to be gone. This coming from a guy who didn't get a contract offer from any other team and signed on with the Mets not because of their potential to win but because he was going to be a tutor to Jose Reyes. So what happened to change his mind? He must have been talking to that low life Brett Butler. Thanks Rey, you've show a lot of class, you d----- b-- .

At Photo day, Rey and a fan sanding next to me were talking at great lengths about their Bentleys. l thought, Rey Sanchez has a Bentley?!?!? A lifetime .225 hitting journeyman shortstop has a Bentley? Cal Ripken, Jr., 0zzie Smith, Derek Jeter...yes. Rey Sanchez...get out of here!!!
