If you were to choose one of Hanley/Reyes, and build a team around them, who would you choose? Keep in mind you cannot change their position(IE change Hanley from SS to CF).

Hanley, he's just having an "off" year for him right now.

Ramirez, easily.

Reyes (surprise, surprise) because he's a catalyst & I feel that the only thing he doesn't have that Hanley does is power, but more than makes up for it with his defense & can stay just as consistent with the bat (in terms of avg). Really though, I don't think you can go wrong with either one...

Homer pick, Hanley. He's been in a slump for quite a while now and still hovering around .290 and was on a 40/40 pace for a while there too. He keeps having problems making simple plays on Defense though that hopefully will imrpove as he gets older.

Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors-the ball is just afraid of him.

Lolz

Hanley all day

Reyes is the most exciting player in the majors!

lolz @ my points, my crap humor or my somewhat contradiction of my post at the end??

lol @ anyone who would choose reyes.

lol @ your ignorance

Sounds like to me your taking away from Reyes, hater...

I'd definitely go with Hanley.

it's not ignorance, he's better

it's easier to improv your defence

In a way it is ignorance because you make it like it's a lost bet with Reyes. And yes there's always room for improvement at their age, but the question is are they going to improve...

it's not ignorance, I'm just choosing one over the other.

Yes but was it really that funny that I choose Reyes or you just lol'd for the hell of it?? Just saying...

PS- I think you deflected my last post pretty well. I'm just gonna assume you didn't have an answer. *bananadance* *bananadance*

what do you mean, to the "will they improve" thing? I think they both might get better, because they arn't even in their prime yet. I think Hanley could get even better.

I'm talking defense and all here.

I mean they have room to improve, but will they?? It's a pretty straightforward question. Only time will tell, Hanley can get better, but again so can Reyes is all I'm saying...

they both can get better. hanley has a higher ceiling. ok?

That's fine, I was just waiting for a somewhat valid argument from you. Though you say you're choosing one over the other, so was I. Your point??

Hanley can do everything Jose Reyes can do and hit home runs. The problem is that he plays for the Marlins who don't get any coverage on the mainstream media/

Hanley's a five tool guy with some power, Reyes only has his speed

I wouldn't put Hanley and Reyes on the same level defensively.

I also take Hanley but its more close for me than you guys.

I think I take reyes. its really closee though. I like Reyes on the basepath better. I like his all aroundness. He could have by the end of the year 40 doubles, 15-20 home runs, 15 triples, 60 stolen bases ansd a 300 average. I dont see hanley that balanced. and when he hits the team wins its nearly a direct correlation. he leads the league in hits too so thats a good thing. yeah hanley hits more home runsbut I think reyes is better in the club house and he's just so energeticc

Hanley just seems like Reyes plus 25 homers.

Quanitifiable information for sh0re

Hanley has heart and he hustles. Don't hate.

So does Jose!!!

Hanley is more the complete player right now so I would take him.

Reyes is like a kid out at the field playing Little League baseball. He is always having fun but has mental lapses that cost his team.
