Reyes To Make Run For MVP

According to Adam Rubin of The Daily News, Jose Reyes is ready to make a run for the MVP, even though he bats leadoff.

And according to Carlos Beltran, Reyes is very valuable. " "I tell him, when he doesn't get on base, we don't win," Carlos Beltran says. "That's how valuable he is. When he gets on base, even if he gets a walk, he has the potential to be on third with less than two out. That's important. The guy behind him can get a ground ball or a fly ball and get him in. He changes the game."

Writes Rubin: According to Cardinals manager Tony La Russa: "Don't count out Jose Reyes stealing the award in the not-too-distant future, despite a power infatuation that sometimes shortchanges leadoff men."
