He is a perfect #2 hitter.
Beltran goes to 3 with Craig/Adams/Molina at 4/5/6.

What about when Holliday comes back? Beltran to 4 and move everyone down a notch?
I'll admit, I'm a Reyes true fan I've always loved te guy as a player. But damn if he wouldn't fit great with this team.

For the rest of the year? Sign me up.
Then plug Tavares into Cf next year and let him hit 7th.
