Wright, Reyes Boosting Their Value

Last night against the Washington Nationals, David Wright and Jose Reyes showed not only why they are the cornerstones of the Mets, but why they remain two of the top fantasy players around. A lot of people have been down on Reyes since his horrific September slump, however after taking three days off to nurse some tightness in his hamstring, Jose-Jose-Jose returned with a vengeance last night, going 4-for-5 and falling a homer shy of his second-career cycle. With just 1 triple and 1 stolen base, Reyes' numbers aren't quite there yet, however the shortstop's performance last night is just what the doctor ordered. One could argue that aside from the occasional aberration (like Jose's 2-homer game last September 25th in the midst of his personal free fall) last night was the first time that Reyes looked like his old self since the middle of last season. Meanwhile, partner-in-crime David Wright continues to erase his struggles from last April at a torrid clip. After going 3-for-4 last night with 2 doubles, a homer, and 5 RBI, David is now hitting .311 with 4 home runs and 15 RBI on the year. Compare those numbers to last season, when Wright hit just .244 with 0 homers and six RBI during the entire month of April.
