With 15 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 561 plate appearances last season, Reyes showed that he can still be a fantasy asset when handed regular playing time, but he benefited greatly from injuries hitting the Mets infield hard in 2017. Unless the likes of Rosario, Asdrubal Cabrera and Todd Frazier miss extended time, Reyes probably won't start often enough to warrant a roster spot outside of very deep mixed leagues and NL-only settings.","date":"Thu Apr 5"},"fullName":"Jose Reyes","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"It was easy to assume an accomplished career was in its final stanza when Reyes opened the season with just a .215/.284/.370 line to go along with 10 steals through the first half. Shortly after reaching his 34th birthday in June though, the shortstop turned it around and proved he still had something left in the tank, upping his average to .288 while matching his first-half RBI output in nearly 100 fewer plate appearances. Additionally, though his legs may not be as big of an asset. Now in his mid-30s, Reyes' 24 steals in 30 tries were good for fifth most in the NL. At this point, he'll qualify at 2B/3B/SS after starting at least 20 games at all three spots last season. Reyes signed with the Mets in late-January, and should get a fair shake to compete for regular infield reps.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Tue Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-5.6,"playerRater15DAY":-5.3,"positionRank":52}
