28-year old switch-hitting shortstop Jose Reyes finished 11th in the 2011 N.L. MVP voting. Reyes played in 126 games for the Mets last year and he was 181 for 537 (.337 avg, .877 OPS) with 101 runs scored, 7 homers, 44 RBIs and 39 stolen bases. He has now played in 1,050 games in his 9 years with the Mets and he is 1,300 of 4,453 (.292 avg, .782 OPS) with 735 runs scored, 81 homers, 423 RBIs and 370 stolen bases. If Reyes doesn’t return to the Mets for 2012, he went out with a bang.

UPDATE:  Jose Reyes has left the Mets to sign with the Florida Marlins.

62-year old Terry Collins finished tied for 8th (with Don Mattingly of the Dodgers) for the N.L. Manager of the Year Award. Collins led the Mets to a 77-85 (47.5%) record despite the team suffering through a lot of serious injuries. Collins is now 521-519 (50.1%) in his first 7 years as a manager in the major leagues. Better times are ahead for the Mets and Collins is the right guy to get them there.

27-year old righty swinging 3B David Wright finished 24th in the N.L. MVP Award voting. Wright played in 157 games for the Mets last season and he was 166 of 587 (.283 avg, .856 OPS) with 87 runs scored, 29 homers, 103 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. He has now played in 1,004 games in his first 7 years with the Mets and he is 1,149 of 3,772 (.305 avg, .899 OPS) with 639 runs scored, 169 homers, 664 RBIs and 138 stolen bases. It was nice to see Wright’s power return last season and they hope he keeps up the good work.

23-year old lefty swinging 1B Ike Davis finished 7th in the Rookie of the Year voting in the N.L. Davis played in 147 games for the Mets last season and he was 138 of 523 (.264 avg, .791 OPS) with 73 runs scored, 19 homers, 71 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. He whiffed 138 times but he also walked 72 times which is promising. Davis has a huge upside for the Mets and he will be the starting 1B for 2011 and down the road.

27-year old 3B David Wright and 27-year old shortstop Jose Reyes will represent the Mets in the All-Star Game. Wright has played in 81 games so far this season for the Mets and he is 96 of 305 (.315 avg, .932 OPS) with 49 runs scored, 14 homers, 64 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. Wright was elected to the team by the fans so he will be the starting 3B for the N.L. This is the fifth time Wright has been on the N.L. All-Star Team. Jose Reyes was picked as a injury replacement for Troy Tulowitzki. Reyes has played in 73 games for the Mets this season and he is 86 of 310 (.277 avg, .741 OPS) with 51 runs scored, 6 homers, 32 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. This will be Reyes’ 2nd All-Star Game of his career to date.
