Who is Argenis Reyes?

Argenis N. Reyes Sanchez is a former Dominican professional baseball second baseman. Formerly a member or the New York Mets organization, he is not related to former teammate José Reyes, although the two were childhood friends in the Dominican Republic.

Reyes was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cleveland Indians in 2001. He played in the Indians farm system through 2007. His final stop was with the Akron Aeros in the AA Eastern League, where he hit .278 in 125 games in 2007.

He signed as a minor league free agent with the New York Mets in 2008 and played with the AAA New Orleans Zephyrs, where he hit .283 in 81 games. He was called up to the Mets on July 3, 2008, to replace Luis Castillo when he was placed on the disabled list. Reyes made his Major League debut the same day, coming in as a defensive replacement at second base in the seventh inning for Damion Easley against the St. Louis Cardinals.

On July 8, 2008, Reyes collected his first major league hit at Shea Stadium against Jack Taschner of the San Francisco Giants. He later hit his first career home run on July 25, 2008, off Brad Thompson of the St. Louis Cardinals. He hit only .218 in 49 games for the Mets in 2008. In 2009 he appeared in 9 games with the Mets, and hit .118 in 17 at-bats. Reyes suffered an injury to his testicles after being hit by a line drive when he wasn't wearing a cup. His career with the Mets ended shortly after.
