During Wednesday night’s brutal 8-2 loss to the Braves, Reyes went just 1-for-3. Honestly though, the fact that he didn’t go 0-for-3 is an improvement of sorts as he’s currently hitting just .114. Yikes.
But, Terry Collins still believes Reyes should be hitting leadoff, and that he will be eventually. He actually elaborated on this post game.
“If Jose rights the ship he’s the ideal guy because of the other things he brings to the table. Your leadoff guy is the guy that ignites the offense — he gets on base with the middle of the lineup coming up.
