You honestly have a lot more confidence in Reyes then I do. I do,
however, think that Beltran will have a much better year no matter
where he hits in the lineup and a .360-.370 OBP out of him is certainly
not out of the question. His second half OBP was .340, 19 points
higher then the first half with almost the exact same BA because he
actually started drawing walks again.

No question the bullpen is a problem . . . specifically the closer
spot. I actually think Heilman could do the job though. I seem to be
in the minority on this one. I'm not against paying for Wagner or Ryan
though.
