Alex Rodriguez said recently that he would like to see Mets shortstop Jose Reyes lead off for the Yankees, a comment that some took as a jab at Johnny Damon and Derek Jeter.

"Obviously, we know how talented Jose Reyes is," Damon told The Post. "I know Alex loves me as a teammate and leading off. Jose Reyes still has 10 to 15 years in the tank; I have five at the most."

Rodriguez has since claimed that his comments weren't meant to be a jab at either of his New York teammates.
