Reed is 27 and is on the Mets, he came over in the trade that also sent JJ Putz and Sean Green to NY. He's competing with Cory Sullivan for the 4th outfielder job...from what I can gather, they are essentially the same player...and both of them are essentially the same player as Endy Chavez, whose role they are replacing.

27, thats it? i thought he was older. He has been on the cusp of breaking out for years.

I actually like Sullivan more. He has a decent stroke, and in the mets Lineup could go .280, 15 65 out of the bottom of the lineup.

Well regardless of who wins between Reed and Sullivan, they won't be playing everyday unless there's an injury. Murphy-Beltran-Church appears to be the everyday outfield with Tatis getting some starts in one of the corner spots against lefties. Reed/Sullivan's assignment is going to primarily be late-inning defense. And in Citi Field, the walls in LF and RF are really high, so no Endy Chavez-like catches are required or possible.

I kinda like going into the season as the underdog. After the Santana trade last year most people pegged the Mets as the favorites...but despite revamping the bullpen this year, most places are saying the Phillies will win, not that I blame them as it's always hard to bet against the defending WS champs.

But the Phils had one of if not the best bullpens in baseball and won the division by like 3 games, Brad Lidge didn't blow a save (something I just can't see happening again). Meanwhile the Mets blew like 30 saves or something ridiculous like that. They get even half of those back and they win the division by a sizable margin.
