Switcheroo, Part Two

As I mentioned the other day, the Mets are at least considering the possibility of swapping the defensive positions of Jose Reyes and Kazuo Matsui in 2005. It apparently gets weirder, as Sam M pointed out in the comments. In his article today, Peter Gammons gives us the following nugget straight from bizarro world:

Don't be surprised if the Mets ask Kaz Matsui to switch places with Jose Reyes next year. But first they think they can address Matsui's vision problems; part of his problem defensively is that he hasn't been able to pick up the catchers' signs and set himself.

Huh? As Sam was also quick to point out, how was this not a problem when he was winning all of those gold gloves in Japan? This does nothing, of course, to explain his noodle-arm-itis.
