Detroit — If you were so inclined, you could talk yourself out of being impressed by what 24-year-old outfielder Victor Reyes has done since his insertion into the Tigers' everyday lineup at the end of July.
It's a mirthless inclination, but you could do it. The conversation would go like this:
Pro: Entering play Tuesday, Reyes has slashed .331/.344/.455/.799 in 125 plate appearances in 29 games since coming back from Triple-A Toledo on July 30. He’s mostly hit leadoff, scored 12 runs, stolen three bases and notched eight doubles, two triples, a home run and 10 RBIs.
