NEW YORK -- As Amed Rosario has developed from an intriguing prospect to one of baseball's best, he has leaned at various points along the way on a few people in particular.
One, last summer, was Jose Reyes. The two crossed paths for about two weeks last July, when Rosario was playing at Double-A Binghamton and Reyes was working his way back into big league shape there. They snapped pictures together, posting them on social media. Both men came away impressed.
"For me, it was a tremendous experience, because Reyes is my favorite player, and he taught me and helped me a lot during those few games we played together," Rosario said at last weekend's Major League Baseball Rookie Career Development Program in Leesburg, Va.
