I meant 2002. Sometimes memory fails–this time it was my memory.

I don't remember much about Tejada when he was coming up, but check out their SO and BB numbers in their age 23 season: 94 K, 57 BB, 593 AB -- Tejada, '99 81 K, 53 BB, 647 AB -- Reyes, '06 That's pretty close, all things considered. It took Tejada 'til age 26 before he was even very close to .300, so I guess I can see why you would've been skeptical. …Unless he turns out to be a fast Miguel Tejada.

That’s an interesting comp that I wouldn’t have thought of. I don’t remember much about Tejada when he was coming up, but check out their SO and BB numbers in their age 23 season:

94 K, 57 BB, 593 AB — Tejada, ’99
81 K, 53 BB, 647 AB — Reyes, ’06

That’s pretty close, all things considered. It took Tejada ’til age 26 before he was even very close to .300, so I guess I can see why you would’ve been skeptical.
