to give Delgado a target. Delgado did the right thing by hitting the
target Reyes setup, but unfortunately Reyes was right on top of the
runner.

The only thing I can think of is Reyes wasn't thinking (again?)

A bit unfair.
If Delgado's throw is off line either way, best way to protect is be in
center of bag.

You don't get it. Anyone that plays baseball knows that play is one
of the toughest if the person at 2B doesn't setup a good target. The
1B throws to where the 2B defender are. Reyes should of been to the
side towards the outfield. Or, 2nd option, the side towards the
pitcher (tougher play), the last thing Reyes should be is right on top
of the bag. This is not fancy footwork but fundamental baseball.
