I'm still not sure how he is a detriment to the team....
He is a gold glove shortstop, the best leadoff hitter in baseball, and a total game changer on the basepaths. Is his character the cleanest? No, but remember what the team looked like when he wasn't on the field last year. Dead... No emotion, business like... oh yeah and the couldn't get a hit to save their own lives... Was it bush-league, yes... But Yankee fans can't even gripe on bush league. Your so called "greatest player in history" ran by and tried to punch a ball out of a pitchers hand who was covering first, and than ran by a 3rd baseman and yelled "I got it" on a pop fly. I mean lets face it, they are men... just like you and I. The Mets are a better team with Reyes on it, and if doing what they did yesterday gets him to come back, than it was worth it... if not, no skin off my back..

Despite being a much better player than Jeter, Alex is nowhere near as revered as him. He's won two MVP's, hit his 500th and 600th HR and won a championship with the Yanks, and it's still Jeter's town! Nobody except for Cameron Diaz Likes ARod more than Jeter! When I came up with Manny, I also thought about Alex. I didn't include him because I thought Jeter would never let it happen!

I know Jeter is more revered... and it has nothing to do with his character. Jeter is a true yankee, up through the farm system, won 5 rings and always does/says the right thing.
Yankee fans had no problem rooting for Roger Clemens after he helped them win a pair of world series. When it comes down to it Yankee fans are just as guilty of rooting for bad guys as any other team, if not worse. If Hitler could hit the curveball, and helped you win a world series or two, you guys would root for him. You also try to make the point that Bernie was pulled from a meaningless game to win a batting title. How more meaningless could September baseball be, than a Mets/Reds game? SRSLY

I also was trying to make the point that he wasn't pulled to preserve the batting crown. He was pulled as a precaution by a team who had bigger fish to fry than the first year expansion Devil Rays.
