He's unreliable, and not a smart hitter at all. He's still got time to develop into something more, but this season's injury setback won't help.

But if we're getting rid of any of our core players, I think its Beltran. Wright should be totally untouchable, unless its a deal involving Pujols or Linecum, seriously. Beltran has the nagging injuries, and is due 20mil the next 2 seasons. He showed that, when healthy, he's still a beast. It'd be nice if Reyes could get on base more, but remember that scoring runs is more imporotant than just getting on base. And he averaged like 115 runs the last 3 years, of course he'd score more if he were to get on base more, but his speed also helps maximize the times he is on base. And we probably couldnt afford to give up any starting pitcher at this point , so Santana stays. Solid stuff, really. But if we’re getting rid of any of our core players, I think its Beltran.
