Scouts liked Jeter over the Mets’ Jose Reyes because of Jeter’s durability. The Blue Jays’ Escobar wasn’t a lock over Jeter among the five scouts we spoke with.

Man. Man.

It’s like… do you even watch the games?

Sure, Jeter is definitely more durable than Reyes. He has played in at least 150 games in each of the last seven seasons. But lest everyone start thinking Reyes is perpetually injured, it’s probably important to note that he played at least 150 games himself every year from 2005 to 2008, missed most of 2009 in part because the Mets woefully mishandled his injury, then played 133 games in 2010.

And right now Reyes is just so, so much better than Jeter. At like, everything. What are the five tools again? Hitting for average, hitting for power, baserunning, fielding and throwing? In which one of those skills does Captain Clutch top Reyes, right now? At this point Jeter barely even walks more than Reyes, and Reyes has actually seen more pitches per plate appearance this season. These scouts aren’t talking historically — they’re saying today, with Reyes about to turn 28 and Jeter about to turn 37.

Crazy time.
