Winter Meetings, Jose Reyes

The MLB winter meetings are underway (12/5-9) in Dallas, TX.  These meetings are a yearly excuse for teams to get together and talk with players or their agents.  Their were a couple of signings before the meetings got started with Papplebon going to Philadelphia and Heath Bell going to the Miami Marlins.  The first major signing was announced last night with Jose Reyes going to the Marlins (6yrs/$106 mil).  Mets fans may be disappointed, I haven't talked to one person who thought he was coming back the Marlins were willing to give him more money and the mets had his injury his in the back of their minds.  Maybe with the warm florida air Jose will feel more refreshed and not break down as much.  The Marlins already had pretty good shortstop in Hanley Ramirez but when their are stars on the market, teams will make concessions.  Two is better then one, Ramirez will now shift to third base with Reyes at shortstop and with two all-stars under the age of 30, the Marlins will have the left side of their infield set for years to come.  I think Hanley will be just fine at third, once he realizes the position move is best for the team and he's not the first player to change his position to accommodate someone else.  We should be happy the former Florida now Miami Marlins are spending money.  The Marlins are remaking their image under owner Jeffrey Loria, with a new name, new uniforms, new ballpark, and now money.  The Marlins now have Jose Reyes they just signed Heath Bell, they have an offer out to Pujols (I think will wind up back in St Louis) and will probably be in the market for a pitcher.
