Why does it say he was 'affectionately called Willy T during his time with the Astros'
I go to Coors Field almost every day theres a game and almost everyone calls him Willy T there too.
I have removed the last line ("He is unrelated to NY-based Damisela Taveras.") Who is Damisela Taveras, and why is this relevant to this baseball player's entry? If there is a reason to include it, by all means enlighten me. But Google reveals no insight onto who this mysterious person is.

Jose Reyes
If Jose Reyes is in fact a faster runner than Willy Taveras, provide a source to back up the claim. Opinion is not encyclopedic. I've reverted the edit. -

It's plain that Jose Reyes is faster than Willy Taveras. Look at the stats. There's no reason why YOUR opinon that Taveras is faster is (1) not encyclopedia and (2) simply incorrect. —Preceding

If I said that Taveras was faster, then you would be right, of course. But I did not say that. What I said is that you need a source for any
POV claims. Furthermore, "look at the stats" is not proof that anyone is faster; there are many factors such as ballpark for triples or opportunity, OBP, and team philosophy for stealing. "It's plain" to you, maybe, that Reyes is faster, but that's not fact; it's
original research. Find a reliable published source and you're golden. It's not about my opinion; it's about what Wikipedia allows us to claim. -

Son of Frank Taveras?
Does anyone have a reliable source for whether or not Willy Taveras is the son of
Frank Taveras, who played for the Mets, Pirates and others in the 1970s? I have seen conflicting reports.
