IS Jose Reyes a poor fielder

I've seen things like this before but I've largely thought it just
impossible

Infielders

Luis Castillo, -8
Carlos Delgado, -3
Argenis Reyes, +5
Jose Reyes, -5
David Wright, +2

Again, few surprises. The rating for Jose Reyes is not an aberration; he
consistently ranks below average in defensive valuations. CHONE has him
around a half-win liability with the glove. Hanley Ramirez is -11 and
Derek Jeter is -13, so it could be worse. Carlos Delgado actually isn't
quite as bad as I expected. The 2008 numbers I had seen were actually
quite favorable, though he has historically shown awful range at first.

So - I find it hard to believe that Reyes is a below average fielder. My
eyes tell me he is the glue to the infliend when he's playing and when he
isn't the defense really suffers on the whole diamond.

Is he over rated by me as a defender?

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
