SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes, the team's highest-paid player, will not be reporting to spring training along with the rest of Colorado's position players.

What the hell is that kind of sentence construction? Are the Rockies position players not going to spring training?

Reyes was placed on paid administrative leave as Major League Baseball completes its investigation of Reyes under its new domestic violence policy. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the decision Tuesday.

The joint domestic violence policy with the Major League Baseball Players Association permits the commissioner to impose a paid suspension pending resolution of the legal proceedings or an investigation. According to the agreement reached last August, the commissioner may place an accused player on leave for up to seven days while allegations are investigated.

Reyes, 32, is alleged to have assaulted his wife on Halloween in a Hawaii hotel and is scheduled to go on trial April 4, the same day as the Rockies' regular-season opener....

I'm posting this mainly to show how bad the Denver Post has become.

1. Aside from illiterate sports writers...

...Reyes' fall from grace is even more annoying. I love the Dominican ball players- when they mature enough to play at the major league level. Jose had it all in Toronto....for awhile anyway.

Canadian baseball media fawn all over these natural athletes turning them into (rich)self-absorbed knuckleheads.

But to your main point. I was in SF a year or so ago reading the sports page in one of the dailies. I found myself re-reading paragraph after paragraph, sentence after sentence trying to decipher the story. It's everywhere...
