1. Omar Minaya needs to go find a shortstop, and that has as much to do with Alex Cora as Jose ReyesJose Reyes . Cora is going to be disabled until about the All-Star break. That means even if Reyes came back healthy from his now recurring calf problems than Ramon Martinez would be the backup shortstop. That is not adequate, especially when you consider that Reyes' injury has been, well, recurring. And especially now that the chances of Reyes winding up on the DL have increased. Martinez has not started more than 27 games at short since 2004. The chances he will hold up physically or defensively - at age 36 - if he is asked to play regularly in Reyes' absence are not good.

Counterpoint: Omar should not find a backup shortstop. Instead, they should run Jose Reyes into the ground, such that come late Aug/Sep he's completely worn out and riding the DL.
I know, right? Can you believe those momos get paid for that blog?
