As well as Reyes has been hitting, his fielding has been really touch-and-go for the past two weeks. Today, on back to back plays, he booted a routine grounder, and on the play before, he dropped an easy fly ball (but luckily managed to re-catch it on the bobble). 3 times in the past two weeks I've watch him drop throws from the 2B-man when attempting to turn the DP. Twice it lead directly to runs scored when the inning would have otherwise been over. Luckily for Jose, it doesn't affect his fielding %: no error since the FC is completed, even thought the DP could have been completed.
I don't believe it's a problem of technique. Could it be that, now that he's finally focusing for most pitches of most AB's, he's making up for it by day-dreaming at short?

That's strange, considering how he started the year. For the first two weeks the Mets were were turning DPs every time I turned around, and all three guys (wright, reyes, and valentin) looked very good. Reyes has always had a strong arm and he's certainly an above average SS, but he does commit about 15-20 errors per year fielding.
Nice to see the "B" team beat the snot out of brewers today. perez close to no-no, huh?
