Only 2 players since 1871 have gone 20-20-20-20 in a season.
Willie Mays 1957: 26 2b, 20 3b, 35 HR, 38 SB
Frank Schulte 1911: 30 2b, 21 3b, 21 HR, 23 SB
Reyes has a very good chance to join this company. No player has ever done it twice (obviously), Reyes has a very good chance to become the first to do that. I think I've heard only one player, Mays, has ever gone 20-20-20-50 in his career. Call it what you want, Reyes will be doing things that have been previously unheard of in his career.
When people throw around "the sky is the limit", they usually do it facetiously (sp?). In this instance, the sky is the limit. Reyes could, and most likely will, rewrite offensive record books for 5 tool players.

If he keeps on developing power like he is, he will be an all star for the next 15 years.

He's a great talent and I have no doubt he'll become a superstar, but let's not go that far just yet.
