|
| After appearing in just 36 games last season due to a number of leg injuries, Jose Reyes says he is 100 percent healthy and ready for spring training, according to ESPN. |
Our View: He's promising to put on a "show" in 2010, and says he "can't wait to hit a triple." While there's no guarantee he'll return to his elite pre-2009 status this season, he could be a huge steal in the second or third round of your draft.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes (hamstring) sprinted 90 feet 5 times in a row in a workout on Monday morning, according to SNY's Kevin Burkhardt. |
Our View: Reyes has been healing very nicely since undergoing surgery to repair his right hamstring tendon in October and, barring a setback, will be fully ready to be on the field and contribute by spring training. While he'll certainly present a risk, he still should be one of the top shortstops selected after Hanley Ramirez in fantasy drafts.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes continues to recover nicely from surgery to repair a torn right hamstring tendon in October and should be running at full speed by January 1, according to Newsday's David Lennon. |
Our View: Reyes has a whole lot to prove to both the Mets and to fantasy owners, especially since he wasn't all that great even in the 36 games that he did play in last season. Still, he's just 26 and his upside remains through the roof, so expect him to be one of the top shortstops off the board in drafts for the 2010 season.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes, who dealt with a variety of leg injuries in 2009, is expected to be 100 percent healthy for the beginning of spring training, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. |
Our View: 2009 was an unmitigated disaster for Reyes, who appeared in only 36 games and had many false returns to the lineup. If he's not fully healthy for 2010, he may want to consider joining a different team with a better medical staff.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Ropolitans.com, shortstop Jose Reyes is set to undergo surgery on his right hamstring tendon today. |
Our View: Reyes was plagued by the hamstring injury all season and Thursday's procedure should clean up the scar tissue around the injured tendon. He is expected to make a full recovery and be ready to go for spring training, but with this injury-riddled Mets team one never knows.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Twitter page of the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch, Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes will undergo surgery on his hamstring tendon in the next couple of days. The team did not give any information on why the surgery has been delayed. |
Our View: Reyes is expected to be fully recovered by the start of next season, but the way the Mets handle injuries you just never know. His surgery has already been delayed, so don't be shocked if the team screws this one up as well.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, the New York Post is reporting that the pending surgery for Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes could cost him part or even all of his 2010 season. Reyes tore his hamstring on Tuesday while running to test out a previous injury to the same area. |
Our View: The Mets have absolutely botched several injuries to high profile players this season, but none worse than this. The team has been out of contention for weeks, but they continued to let Reyes push his leg until it finally tore. It looks like he will miss at least part of next season, and if the Mets keep their training staff in tact, he will probably miss more than just a little time.
|
|
|
|
| After missing nearly all of 2009 with a number of leg injuries, it was announced on Wednesday that Jose Reyes has suffered a new tear of his troublesome hamstring, according to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post. |
Our View: Simply stunning. The Mets are now so snake-bitten they are even getting hurt while they are running off the field recovering from previous injuries. Coupled with the walk-off grand slam allowed by Francisco Rodriguez, Wednesday might have been the worst day in a season full of awful ones for the Mets in 2009.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Twitter page of the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch, shortstop Jose Reyes will find out on Thursday if he will need surgery on his hamstring tendon. Reyes has missed a majority of the season with the injury. |
Our View: Newsday's David Lenon believes that Reyes will need surgery based on what he has heard, but nothing is official as of now. We will update his status when it is released tomorrow, so stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| According to David Lennon on Twitter, Mets manager Jerry Manuel said that injured shortstop Jose Reyes ran "with intensity" on Saturday, but is still too far off in his rehab to return this season. |
Our View: Reyes has been out since May 20th with calf tendinitis and the Mets would be crazy to push him for an early return. Their playoffs hopes eroded long ago and there is no sense in risking the health of a franchise player for a few meaningless end of the year at-bats.
|
|
|
|
| Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes continues to work to try to make a comeback this season, according to the New York Daily News. Reyes has been taking indoor batting practice and he plans to start running later this week. |
Our View: Reyes has made no secret about the fact that he wants to return this season, and he has said that even if he can only make it back for the final game of the season, he will do so. We admire his desire, but his team is going nowhere and he has already cost fantasy owners plenty of heartache this season.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes said on Wednesday that he wants to play again this season. Reyes is frustrated with the perception that he doesn't want to be on the field this year, and he told the media in the clubhouse that if he is able to return to the field, even for the last week of the season, he will do so. |
Our View: Don't hold your breath Mets' fans. Reyes is still getting rehab done on his hammy, and even under a best-case scenario, he isn't likely to be ready to play this year. Even if he were, why would the Mets risk injuring him again when then games mean nothing? Don't expect to see him on the field again until 2010.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is hoping to avoid surgery on his torn hamstring, according to Fox Sports. |
Our View: For now, the speedy shortstop is trying to rehabilitate the injury without going under-the-knife, though the team has set a "drop dead date" of late September for him to get surgery if he is still not healing well enough so he will be ready for spring training next season.
|
|
|
|
| According to the New York Daily News, Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes has a completely torn hamstring and he may need surgery to repair the injury. Reyes has been out of the lineup since May 20 with various injuries. |
Our View: Reyes has been sidelined for most of the season, and he may be the poster-boy of the 2009 New York Mets. We heard several times that he was close to returning, but he would eventually suffer another setback every time and remain on the bench. He is still getting treatment, so we will keep you updated on his status and if surgery is necessary.
|
|
|
|
| Admitting what has seemed obvious for some time now, Mets manager Jerry Manuel has said that he does not expect Jose Reyes (leg) to play again this season, according to SNY. |
Our View: Though apparently many inside the organization believe Reyes' delayed return is more about what is going on inside his head than with his legs. He is apparently gun-shy about getting re-injured and taking things mind-bogglingly slow with his rehab. At this point, that's probably a good course of action. He should return to elite status at short in 2010.
|
|
|
|
| An MRI on Wednesday revealed that superstar shortstop Jose Reyes has "significant" scar tissue and inflammation behind his right knee, according to MLB.com's Noah Coslov. |
Our View: Reyes will now stay in New York for his rehab. If the Mets don't just shut him down for the season soon it will be both mystifying and unhelpful for your team, as he doesn't figure to play too great after missing so much time and dealing with so many injuries. Put your Jose Reyes eggs in a 2010 basket.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes has returned to New York after experiencing continuing discomfort with his right leg, according to the New York Daily News. Reyes is scheduled to be examined by team doctors. |
Our View: The Mets' nightmare season is showing no signs of slowing, as Reyes looks like he might miss even more time after suffering a setback. We will know more after he is examined by doctors, but Reyes owners should consider anything you get from him this season a bonus.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes suffered a setback (discomfort) in his recovery from a right calf injury, and he is still unable to run the bases at full-speed, according to MetsBlog.com. |
Our View: There is no timetable as to when the elite shortstop will be able to run hard, and GM Omar Minaya is hopeful that he will resume running this weekend. He shall remain patiently stashed on fantasy rosters.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is still unable to run the bases, according to Newsday's David Lennon. |
Our View: Reyes has said he's willing to play at less than 100 percent, but what good would it do the Mets for him to return and be running like Big Papi? The longer Reyes is out, the more likely it is he gets shutdown for the season at some point. Follow the mantra you should have adopted long ago in regards to Reyes: hope for the best, expect the worst.
|
|
|
|
| The New York Daily News is reporting that Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes could be the first significant player to return from the DL for the team this season. Reyes is expected to test his injured hamstring by running the bases within the next few days. |
Our View: Reyes doesn't believe he will be 100 percent this season, but he does want to get back on the field as soon as possible. Anyone who drafted Reyes this year will gladly take anything he can give at this point, as he likely killed your team from start to finish. We will continue to update his status, so check back regularly.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is scheduled to play in another simulated game on Friday, and is now saying he may return to the field at less than 100 percent health, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: Reyes is reportedly fed up with his slow healing right calf, and doesn't believe he will be 100 percent until next season. There seems to be little reason for him to return in 2009 when he isn't fully healthy, as the Mets have little shot at making the playoffs at this point, but it's nice to see Reyes so anxious to compete. Of course, whether or not the Mets let him return at less than 100 percent remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| In a classic case of good news, bad news on Tuesday, Jose Reyes collected two hits in a simulated game, but could barely run to second base, according to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post. |
Our View: Reyes just doesn't appear to be getting any better. He will still supposedly return sometime in early August, but that just doesn't' seem likely at this point. If you haven't already gotten a long-term replacement for him at short, there's no time like the present.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes has reportedly suffered another setback in his recovery from a right hamstring injury, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: The Mets are denying it, but Reyes apparently pulled up lame while doing agility drills in Port St. Lucie on Friday. This is just another chapter in the neverending saga of his comeback this season. At this point, you shouldn't believe that Reyes is going to take the field until you see it. Stay hopeful, but realistic: it could be a while before he is back.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Twitter page of Newsday reporter David Lennon, Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes is progressing nicely in his rehab, and he could be back before the end of the month. Reyes has looked good while running so far on his rehab assignment. |
Our View: With all of the injury problems the Mets have faced this season, this is one bit of good news. It sounds like Reyes could be back in the next few weeks, so all of you Reyes owners should hold your breath and hope he doesn't suffer another setback before then. We will keep you updated on his condition.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes looked good while doing agility drills at Citi Field on Sunday, and had only a hint of a limp, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: The Mets now seem to believe their star shortstop could be back some time relatively soon after the All-Star break, but perhaps not during the ten game road trip that kicks off their second half. Either way, it's a great sign for the Amazins that Reyes is up and running, and it finally appears plausible that he will be back soon. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| There is no timetable for Jose Reyes' return, according to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman. |
Our View: The longer Reyes goes without a set return date, the more it looks like he is not going to be a productive player for the Mets in 2009. Keep him stashed, but don't expect too much.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch says earlier reports of injured shortstop Jose Reyes beginning a rehab assignment this Thursday are untrue. |
Our View: This is just par for the course for the Mets this season. With Reyes, take an attitude of seeing is believing, as his calf has been incredibly slow in healing, and there really is no telling just when he might be back. Stay patient, but realistic as well.
|
|
|
|
| The Boston Globe is reporting that injured Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday with the team's Triple-A affiliate. Reyes is still recovering from a right calf and hamstring injury. |
Our View: Reyes will report to Pawtucket for Buffalo's game against the PawSox on Thursday, but it is unclear at this point what the extent of the trip will be. Whatever he does, it is a good sign that Reyes is beginning a rehab assignment. Stay tuned for more updates on his situation.
|
|
|
|
| Mets' writer David Lennon is reporting on his Twitter page that Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes has received another cortisone shot and will be shut down again for a few more days. Reyes is still trying to return from a calf injury. |
Our View: Reyes seems like he should have been back weeks ago, but it looks like he has hit another setback. His ETA of right after the All-Star break looks unlikely at this point, so Reyes owners need to continue being patient.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is still not running the bases, according to MetsBlog.com. |
Our View: Reyes' rehab continues to progress at a mystifyingly slow pace, and it is starting to look like he might not be ready right after the All-Star break like originally thought. Obviously keep an eye on him, just maybe don't keep your hopes up.
|
|
|
|
| According to the New York Daily News, Jose Reyes has been relocated to Port St. Lucie and should be running the bases within a few days. |
Our View: Reyes still won't be activated until the All Star break, but it looks like he's making significant progress. His speed is his biggest weapon, so once he can run full throttle he should be good to go.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes showed good signs of progression over the weekend, taking infield and batting practice, but has yet to run "full throttle" since being placed on the disabled list with right calf tendinitis, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: This will be the final hurdle he will have to clear before a potential return, but he still does not appear to be imminently close to doing so. Regardless, he is steadily progressing and Reyes owners should start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel very soon.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes (hamstring) took batting practice and jogged before New York's game on Saturday but will remain on the DL for the foreseeable future, according to MLB.com. "I'd like to be on the field as soon as possible," Reyes said. "But with this kind of injury, you never know." |
Our View: Reyes has stated that his biggest challenge is running at full speed, obviously a concern for a guy whose fantasy value comes largely from his ability to steal bases. It still does not seem likely that he'll be back in the Mets' lineup anytime before the All-Star break.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes plans to test his injured hamstring and run before the Mets game at Citi Field today, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: Ever so slowly, Reyes inches toward a return. This is a huge step, should it go well, and his return could begin accelerating if there are no problems.
|
|
|
|
| Injured star shortstop (right calf tendinitis) Jose Reyes took grounders and hit Tuesday at Citi Field, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: Any news regarding progress in Reyes recovery is wonderful news for the Mets, and it appears he is finally making some strides toward returning. He has still yet to begin running, but the team is optimistic he could return sometime around the All-Star break.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was rear-ended by a firetruck on the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge Monday while driving to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan for a check-up visit on his ailing hamstring, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: The star shortstop was riding with team trainer Ray Ramirez, and luckily neither was injured in the accident.
|
|
|
|
| According to Metsblog.com, injured shortstop Jose Reyes "feels something" in the torn tendon in his hamstring when he makes "quick moves." |
Our View: This obviously isn't good news. The Mets were already taking Reyes' rehab painfully slow, but this may be yet another setback. When a base stealer can't make quick moves all kinds of red flags pop up. Don't expect to see the shortstop back any time soon.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is progressing in his recovery from his hamstring injury, according to Newsday. He took some batting practice Friday, and also did some light running on a treadmill. |
Our View: He will field grounders Saturday prior to the Mets' game against the Rays, and the club will continue to take his rehab slow. This marks Reyes' first baseball activity since he sustained a torn hamstring tendon back on June 3 in Port St. Lucie.
|
|
|
|
| Metsblog.com reports that manager Jerry Manuel says that Jose Reyes' calf will need at least another week of rest before he is able to even begin his rehab. |
Our View: It appears that Reyes will be out for the rest of the month, and this could extend past the all-star break. He had not been having a strong season at the time of the injury, but his fantasy owners still undoubtedly miss him dearly.
|
|
|
|
| There remains no timetable for Jose Reyes' return to the diamond while recovering from a slightly torn hamstring, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: He is only able to work on a bicycle and treadmill right now, but does not believe his ailment is as severe as his previous hamstring injuries. We will keep you posted on his status.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, the New York Post is reporting that Jose Reyes is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks with his slightly torn hamstring. Reyes is also dealing with right calf tendinitis. |
Our View: The Post believes that the torn hamstring is a 2-to-3 week injury and that the team will be cautious with the injuries to his legs and give him another 2-to-3 weeks on top of it. This is a big blow to Reyes owners, but there is still hope he could come back sooner. We will keep you updated on his condition.
|
|
|
|
| It has been revealed that Jose Reyes has a tear in his ailing right hamstring, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Reyes will rest for two days and then resume treament. The elite shortstop dealt with severe hamstring issues earlier in his career.
|
|
|
|
| The Associated Press is reporting that only one day after the Mets said he was back to square one in his recovery from a strained calf, Jose Reyes is headed back to Florida to participate in extended spring training and could rejoin the team next week. |
Our View: The Mets desperately need Reyes back but would be wise not to rush him considering his slow recovery thus far. Still, it's beginning to sound more likely that he will actually be back next week and replacing Alex Cora in the Mets starting lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Metsblog.com reports that Jose Reyes experienced pain in his strained calf during a spring training game on Wednesday. He will head back to New York for additional tests. Assistant GM John Ricco said that it "was back to square one for Reyes." |
Our View: The awful news train keeps on rolling for Reyes owners. He was hoping to return this weekend for the Mets, but it now sounds as if he could miss up to a couple more weeks. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| The New York Post is reporting that Jose Reyes will play a few games in Florida before returning to the Mets on June 5. Reyes is on the DL with a strained right calf. |
Our View: Reyes will be with the team this weekend and then go to Florida early next week for a few games before returning to the lineup on Friday. He is expected to be fine when he is eligible to come off the DL, so expect him back in fantasy lineups a week from today.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Newark Star-Ledger, as expected the Mets placed shortstop Jose Reyes on the 15-day disabled list with a strained calf. |
Our View: The move is retroactive to last Wednesday and was likely made so that Reyes could just sit out until he's 100 percent. The last time he tried to come back early he re-injured the calf.
|
|
|
|
| The AP reports that the Mets will wait until Friday before deciding whether or not to place Jose Reyes on the DL due to his strained calf. He has missed seven of his last 10 games. He says he will play once the leg is up to 80-85 percent. |
Our View: If he is placed on the DL, it will be retroactive to last Wednesday. It seems to make more sense to let the leg get back to 100 percent as there is three-quarters of the season left to play. The last time he tried to play, he only lasted a few innings before furthering the injury. We will keep you posted as more information is made available, but it is best to leave him out of your lineups until you know for certain.
|
|
|
|
| As expected, Jose Reyes is not in tonight's lineup against the Nationals, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: Reyes previously stated that he had no shot of playing Monday due to his ailing right calf. Ramon Martinez will cover shortstop in his absence.
|
|
|
|
| According to the New York Daily News, Jose Reyes stated that there is no chance of hi returning to the lineup by Monday. |
Our View: Reyes is dealing with a sore calf and it doesn't sound like it's improving. He chose not to test it at all today and decided against participating in his running drills. A DL stint could be on the horizon.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes' MRI on his ailing right calf did not reveal any structural damage, according to the New York Times. |
Our View: The elite shortstop felt worse on Friday than he did the previous day however, and a trip to the DL is still a possibility. As for now, Reyes remains listed as day-to-day.
|
|
|
|
| MLB.com reports that Jose Reyes is out of the lineup on Friday and that his strained right calf feels worse than it did a week ago. He has previously been diagnosed with tendinitis in the calf. The Mets insist he will not be put on the disabled list. |
Our View: We aren't so certain that he does not deserve to be placed on the DL. He has been hampered by the injury for a week and there are few players that rely on their legs more than Reyes. Hopefully he can return at some point this weekend, but we wouldn't bank on it.
|
|
|
|
| Updating an earlier report, Jose Reyes is considered day-to-day with tendinitis behind his right calf, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: He had an MRI today, and remains listed as day-to-day. Ramon Martinez can fill in at shortstop until Reyes is ready to return.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes exited Wednesday's game in the third inning after aggravating his ailing right calf, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: He missed five games with the ailment, which was diagnosed as tendinitis. It remains to be determined if the elite shortstop will need to miss additional time. We will keep you posted on his status.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Jose Reyes says he's good to go and should be in the starting lineup for tonight's game, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: Reyes gave manager Jerry Manuel the thumbs up after testing his calf in workouts earlier. Be sure to get him back into your lineup before game time.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes will test his ailing right calf while running Tuesday, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: He has swelling in his knee and calf, but could return to the lineup as soon as tonight at Los Angeles if he can run fine without any issues. He has missed the last five games with the ailment.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes will be out for the fifth consecutive game on Monday, according to the New York Post. Reyes has been dealing with tendinitis in his right calf. |
Our View: Reyes was hoping to return tonight, but obviously he was unable to do so. He is hoping to be in the lineup tomorrow, so check back for an update on his status.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes missed his fourth straight game Sunday due to stiffness in his right calf, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Skipper Jerry Manuel is hopeful the elite shortstop will be ready to return to the diamond Monday at Los Angeles. Reyes noted that the ailment is healing slow.
|
|
|
|
| According to Newsday, the Mets are once again without Jose Reyes's services in Saturday's game. |
Our View: Reyes has missed three consecutive games with pain in his calf and the injury appears to be more serious than originally expected. Alex Cora is starting in his place.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was scheduled for an MRI after missing Thursday's game with pain in his right calf, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: The Mets will play it safe with the elite shortstop, and his status for Friday's game at San Francisco is yet to be determined. The ailment is believed to be minor.
|
|
|
|
| The New York Post is reporting that Jose Reyes will not be in the Mets' lineup Thursday at San Francisco. |
Our View: This is just a routine day off for Reyes, so nothing to worry about. He will be back in the lineup this weekend, but get him out tonight if you have another option at short.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 3-for-5 with three doubles and a run scored in the Mets' 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Braves on Wednesday. |
Our View: Reyes has started slow this season, but has shown signs of turning it around lately. Since May 6th he has raised his average from .248 to .286 and has started racking up the stolen bases. He has 11 on the season so far, and we're sure there are many more to come.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, a walk and a stolen base in the Mets 8-4 win over the Pirates on Sunday. |
Our View: The shortstop has a stolen base in each of his last three games and six of his last seven games. On the season, he has only 10 steals, so clearly he is getting much more aggressive on the base paths. He has also raised his batting average 30 points in his last four games with eight hits.
|
|
|
|
| Mets' skipper Jerry Manuel was dealt a one-game suspension for making contact with an umpire during Thursday's game, according to the Associated Press. He was also handed a fine for an undisclosed amount. |
Our View: Manuel will serve the suspension today when the Mets battle the Pirates. Bench coach Sandy Alomar Sr. will manage the club in Manuel's absence.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Brewers at Citi Field. Both of his knocks were singles, and he also recorded a stolen base. |
Our View: The Mets did not have an extra base hit today, and Reyes recorded the lone RBI. He has a five-game hitting streak, with five hits over his last two outings.
|
|
|
|
| Shortstop Jose Reyes went 3-for-5 with a run against the Brewers on Friday night. |
Our View: It's slightly disappointing to see Reyes reach first base three times and not attempt a stolen base. Backup catcher Mike Rivera was behind the plate, and he threw out only four of 20 stealers last year. Alas, we'll have to simply settle for a three-hit night out of Jose.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes doubled, homered and drove in three as the Mets doubled up the Marlins 8-4 on Saturday. |
Our View: Reyes finally chipped in with some extra-base hits this season. His only offensive production prior to Saturday was four singles and one stolen base.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes only got one hit, but he drove in two runs in his four at-bats, helping the Mets to a 5-4 spring training win over the Marlins. |
Our View: Reyes has 15 RBI this spring, a fairly lofty total. Fantasy owners would love to see him improve on the 68 RBI he accumulated last year, as long as he doesn't fall from the 60 or stolen bases expected out of him.
|
|
|
|
| Two hits, three RBI, one run, and one steal were the feats Mets shortstop Jose Reyes accomplished as his team beat the Cardinals, 9-5. |
Our View: Reyes is one of the top four players in fantasy, and should never fall past that spot. He's hitting .333 this spring, and shown no signs he's unworthy of his lofty draft status.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 2-for-3 with four RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 12-1 win over the Astros. He hit a pair of doubles. |
Our View: He is back in the leadoff role after the club experimented with Luis Castillo in the spot. Reyes is worthy of a high first-round pick, especially for those fantasy owners that like to build their team around speed.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes will return to the Mets' lineup today against the Nationals following his stint in the World Baseball Classic, according to the Star-Ledger. |
Our View: Reyes will not see much action until around March 25 to give him some rest. He is slated to bat leadoff today.
|
|
|
|
| Mets manager Jerry Manuel said that Jose Reyes will most likely again be placed at the leadoff spot in New York's lineup as he's done in the past, according to the New York Daily News. |
Our View: There had been rumors over the past few weeks that Manuel would place Reyes at No. 3 in the lineup, but it looks as if those will end up false. While Reyes would have received a much higher number of RBI opportunities in the No. 3 spot, he also may have been asked to run a bit less. He shouldn't slip any further than No. 4 in mixed drafts regardless of where he hits.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is expected back in Mets camp by Friday, according to the NY Post. The Dominican Republic has been eliminated in the World Baseball Classic, and the Mets want to give him a breather before returning to the diamond. |
Our View: Reyes should be the second fantasy shortstop taken off the board after Hanley Ramirez. He slipped to 56 stolen bases in 2008, but should bounce back and be a contender to lead the NL in the category in 2009.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes hit leadoff for Team Dominican Republic in their exhibition against Florida on Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with two runs, one walk, a triple and a stolen base. |
Our View: Reyes complemented his six-RBI, two-home run performance from last week with a more typical line from the speedster. Reyes is expected to be placed at No. 3 in the Mets' lineup and will remain a fantasy monster wherever he's slotted.
|
|
|
|
| Shortstop Jose Reyes drove in six of the nine Met runs on a pair of long balls Thursday afternoon in a 9-0 New York victory over the Marlins. |
Our View: A multi-faceted player, Reyes' mixture of speed, power, and defense makes him a threat whenever he touches the field. But we're sure you didn't need us to tell you that.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes doesn't have a problem with potentially moving down to the third spot in the batting order this year. "I'm here to do whatever they want me to do," Reyes tells Newsday. "People call me and say I'm not going to lead off anymore but I'm here to help this team win. No matter where they put me - third, second, fourth, fifth, whatever. I'm here to play baseball and help this team win a championship." |
Our View: Reyes may be fine with the move, but we have a little problem with the revised lineup. He is one of the league's most disruptive players when on base, so why wouldn't the Mets want him to log as many at-bats as possible? Moving down to third should open up more RBI opportunities, but Reyes could ultimately see fewer at-bats and not attempt as many steals. Regardless, Jose will remain an elite fantasy option.
|
|
|
|
| Mets manager Jerry Manuel may drop Jose Reyes to the third spots in the Mets' batting order this season, according to the club's official site. Luis Castillo would hit leadoff with Carlos Beltran hitting second in this scenario. |
Our View: This could dramatically increase Reyes' RBI production, as he drove in 68 runs from the top of the order. He's already one of the most valuable players in fantasy due to his stolen bases, batting average, and power, so this would just drive his value up even higher.

|
| Updating an earlier report, the New York Daily News says the financial institution Citigroup will not back out of its lengthy agreement with the New York Mets, which includes naming rights to brand new Citi Field. Citigroup officials called the Mets Tuesday to reaffirm their company's commitment to the agreement, squashing rumors set forth in an article in today's Wall Street Journal that insisted the current economic climate, in particular recent government bailouts, was putting the deal in jeopardy. |
Our View: Citigroup was recently chastised by members of Congress for accepted billions in bailout dollars while paying a significant amount of money to acquire the naming rights to the Mets' new stadium.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes commented on the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to Newsday. The elite shortstop said, "You get to represent your country. That’s the most important thing to me. You just try to be there and try to do whatever they ask me to do." |
Our View: He plans to represent the Dominican Republic in the WBC, but it remains to be seen who would be the starting shortstop with Hanley Ramirez and Miguel Tejada also expected to join the team.
|
|
|
|
| The New York Post reports that Jerry Manuel has re-signed with the Mets for two seasons with a club option for a third. |
Our View: Manuel went 55-38 after taking over for Willie Randolph on June 16, but the Mets went 6-9 in their final 15 games to fall one game short of the playoffs again.
|
|
|
|
| SI.com reports that Jerry Manuel will return next season to coach the Mets despite the September collapse. |
Our View: The Mets were 7-10 over their final 17 games. Mets owner Jeff Wilpon said, "I feel totally different than last year. I think last year we underachieved. This year we overachieved."
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was 1-for-4 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and three stolen bases in Thursday night's 7-6 come from behind win over the Cubs "B" team. |
Our View: Reyes has 55 steals now and it appears the Mets will be more aggressive on the base paths as they try to squeak out three more wins in their final series against the Marlins this weekend.
|
|
|
|
| GM Omar Minaya will receive a four-year extension from the Mets, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. The deal is all but done, but it is not known when the extension will be announced. |
Our View: This move might be questioned should the Mets lose out on a playoff spot again this year, though it looks like they'll squeak in.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes keyed another Mets victory on Friday by going 3-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored. He hit his 16th home run in the effort. |
Our View: His average is back over .300 for the first time since Septemeber 7th, but he is still hitting just .269 for the month. That's his lowest mark since April.
|
|
|
|
| Mets lead-off hitter Jose Reyes hit his 15th home run on the year Wednesday night to help stop the Mets skid, with a 9-7 win over the Nationals. |
Our View: The Mets had lost three straight games coming into Wednesday night and Reyes was 0-for-11. In the month of September, Reyes was hitting .204. For the Mets to avoid another September disappointment, Reyes is going to have get going at the top of the order.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was in the mist of a 0-for-15 coming into Tuesday's game against the Nationals but broke that streak with a two-hit night. |
Our View: Even though Reyes had that long streak without a hit his average is still at .300.
|
|
|
|
| With his 47th stolen base of the season on Wednesday, Mets shortstop Jose Reyes tied Mookie Wilson for the most steals in franchise history, with 281, according to New York Newsday. |
Our View: Reyes will go on to obliterate this mark, and it's anyone's guess as to how many he'll end up with. He is one of the top options every year for fantasy owners in the steals department.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 1-for-4 with a triple in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Florida. He also registered a walk and swiped his 45th base of the season. |
Our View: Reyes continues to lead the majors with 17 triples, and he ranks second in steals only to Willy Taveras of Colorado.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was a beast for the Mets on Monday in their 9-1 win over Houston. The young shortstop went 3-for-4 with a single, double, triple, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base - his 41st of the year. |
Our View: Reyes continues to do it all, showing why he was a top pick in fantasy drafts across the country. If he could just raise that OBP a smidgen, he would be nearly perfect.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 2-for-5 with a triple, homer, and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Pirates. He has multiple hits in six of his last seven games. |
Our View: The dynamic talent has really excelled since his rough April. He continues to lag behind our preseason expectations for stolen bases, but his other digits are excellent.
|
|
|
|
| Mets shortstop Jose Reyes went 2-for-5 and stole his 40th base of the season in New York's 4-3 win over Washington. |
Our View: Reyes has hit over .300 every month since May, and though he has taken only two walks in August, his value to fantasy owners is tremendous.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-2 loss to Florida. He notched a single and a double, and accounted for two of the Mets' six hits in the game. |
Our View: He recorded his 30th double, snapping an eight-game skid without one. He also ended a 12-game drought without an RBI.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 4-for-8 in the Mets extra inning loss to St. Louis, and among his hits were two doubles and his 12th home run of the season. |
Our View: Reyes can still do it all, and he is now hitting an even .300 on the year, and he is obviously one of the top players in all of fantasy baseball.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes had only one hit, but it was a 3-run home run on Wednesday night to help the Mets to defeat the Phillies 6-3. |
Our View: After a 12 home run season last year, the power that produced 19 homers for Reyes in 2006 has returned. His steals might be down, he has 33, but all of his other numbers are right where you would expect them to be leaving him as a top-10 fantasy performer up until this point of the year.
|
|
|
|
| With 14 hits for the team on the day, the Mets had more than enough offense to go around, posting the 7-5 win over the Reds. Give the cigar to shortstop Jose Reyes as the top man of the effort, going 4-for-6 with a triple (his 11th of the season), a stolen base (his 33rd of the season), and three runs scored. |
Our View: Reyes is making his rise this month, hitting. .338 through June with five stolen bases, nine walks versus six strikeouts, and 11 runs scored through July. He's already matched his RBI total from last month (9) and hopes to keep rolling as the Mets gain momentum.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went hitless in four at-bats on Friday against the Reds, and he has gone 2-for-16 over his last four games. He does not have a stolen base since July 7. |
Our View: It's likely nothing to be concerned about, and Reyes will continue to rack up stolen bases once he starts getting on base with more frequency.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets scored 10 runs on Thursday but Reyes accounted for none of them. He was 0-for-5 with two strikouts. |
Our View: Don't count on this becoming a trend. Reyes will continue to be one of the best players in fantasy leagues throughout the second half.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is the first player in Major League history to record 10 home runs, 20 doubles, 10 triples, and 30 stolen bases before the All-Star break. |
Our View: Reyes got off to an anemic start this season, but is now back on track and playing up to high expectations as a first-round fantasy pick. He also raised his average to .302 and is riding a nine-game hitting streak, with five multi-hit efforts over the span.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets have wrapped their eighth consecutive win this evening, defeating the Colorado Rockies 3-0. All eight Met hits were produced by different batters, though leadoff shortstop Jose Reyes made the most of his, hitting his 10th homer of the season to go 1-for-4 with one walk, one RBI, and one run scored on the night. |
Our View: Reyes has been surging after a frustrating start, now hitting .302 on the season thanks to improving his .305 June batting average to .375 this month, though he had not homered since June 25th and touts just four stolen bases this month (following 11 through June).
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 3-for-6 with a run and two stolen bases on Sunday. |
Our View: It was his first multi-steal game since June 8 and his fifth of the season. He had 13 such games last season. Let's hope he increases his stolen base frequency going forward.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 3-2 win over the Phillies. He contributed a stolen base, his 29th of the season. |
Our View: That was his first stolen bag since June 27, snapping a seven-game drought.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes got into an altercation with Mets broadcaster Keith Hernandez Sunday on the team's flight to St. Louis, according to the New York Post. Reyes was upset at comments Hernandez made that were critical of him. "He got his point [across] and I got mine," said Reyes |
Our View: Reyes continues to act like a spoiled child, and you have to wonder if his immaturity is costing him on the field, and costing your fantasy team points.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes stole his 27th base of the season, hit his ninth home run, scored twice and had three RBI for the Mets. |
Our View: Talk about a huge night in points leagues. Reyes continues to push his numbers after a slow start as he is once again proving why a selection in the top-10 of a fantasy draft is always a wise investment with this guy.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes said after Tuesday's game that he expected to play tonight against the Angels, and true to his expectations, the Mets starting shortstop is in the starting lineup and hitting in his usual leadoff spot.
|
Our View: Reyes was upset after being taken out of the Tuesday's game in the first inning after tweaking a hamstring, and while he is starting, don't expect to see the speedster stealing second and third without feeling some hambone pain.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes may be able to return to the lineup on Wednesday after dealing with some left hamstring tightness on Tuesday. Manager Jerry Manuel informs the New York Daily News that the shortstop is typically able to "shake it out" and come back quickly. The new skipper also chastised Reyes for the tantrum he threw when he was removed from the game on Tuesday. |
Our View: Manuel made the right move on Tuesday, and it's too bad Reyes felt the need to challenge the new manager. We imagine Manuel later gave Jose a big bowl of ice cream and let him stay up watching TV all the way until 10:00 pm.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was forced to leave the Mets game on Tuesday night in the first inning due to an apparent left leg injury, according to the Associated Press. Damion Easley pinch ran and stayed in the game to play shortstop. |
Our View: Reyes appeared to tweak his left hamstring, and was visibly upset when he was removed from the game by interim manager Jerry Manuel. We will update you when more details become available.
|
|
|
|
| After weeks of speculation, Willie Randolph has been fired by the Mets following Monday's 9-6 win over the Angels, according to the AP. |
Our View: Bench coach Jerry Manuel takes over on an interim basis for Randolph, who led the Mets to within one win of the 2006 World Series. The Mets' collapse at the end of last season hurt Randolph's rep with team management, and they decided it was time to move on. The Mets were also a preseason favorite to claim the NL pennant, but are a disappointing 34-35.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes used his legs tonight to score three runs and steal his 25th base, while he used his bat to punch out two doubles for the Mets. |
Our View: Reyes has pushed the average up to .289 and he has scored eight runs in his last eight games as the Mets offense is slowly starting to do some things.
|
|
|
|
| Willie Randolph is believed to be on his way out as the manager of the Mets, as was said by columnist Jon Heyman on WFAN's "Mike and the Mad Dog" radio show (and displayed on the NY Post). Heyman said, "Willie's on very thin ice, I don't think there's any other way to put it. I've heard he's going to survive today. I'm not sure why that is, why not fired today, it could just be logisitcal something or other, but the higher-ups met yesterday."
|
Our View: The Mets are a disappointing 31-34 and are not playing up to high expectations as preseason contenders.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes continued to provide a spark from the top of the lineup for the Mets as he had two hits, two steals, and a run scored against the Padres. |
Our View: Reyes has at least two hits in six of his last 11 games during which time he has stolen six bases. If there was any doubt about Reyes, it has certainly passed.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes hit a leadoff double, a home run and finally a single helping the the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 on Wednesday. Reyes also scored twice.
|
Our View: Reyes is melting anything in his way, especially poorly placed fastballs. The Mets shortstop also stole his 19th base of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes has reached base safely in 32 straight games, one shy of Darryl Strawberry's single-season club record. Reyes singled in the first inning, stole second, and then scored a looping single by David Wright. |
Our View: Jose Reyes extended his hitting streak to 17 games, and finally played a complete game. He was outstanding defensively and continues to look confident at the plate. If Reyes can find June as successful as May, he will overtake Hanley Ramirez as the top shortstop in the fantasy realm.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was a quiet 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base on Saturday, but he extended his hitting streak to 16 games. |
Our View: Reyes ended up hitting .310 with five homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs, and 11 steals over 28 games in May. He hasn't quite exploded yet, but he's looking more like the stud fantasy owners expected when they used a top-three pick on him.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes continued his recent spell of hot hitting with another two hits for the Mets on Thursday to extend his hitting streak to 14-games. |
Our View: Reyes has raised his average from .258 to .282 with the streak, though he does have seven games with just one hit. With David Wright also heating up, the Mets offense could be ready to make some noise.
|
|
|
|
| It wasn't pretty, but the Mets and Marlins fought into extra innings as the hometown Mets scored two runs to answer the one posted by Florida in the 12th to emerge victorious, 7-6. For the Mets, it was a group effort, though leadoff shortstop Jose Reyes may have been the best performer of the game. Reyes went 2-for-5 with a walk at the plate with a double (his 12th of the season), a home run (his seventh), and a stolen base (16th of the season), all told to push one RBI and two runs scored. |
Our View: Reyes had suffered through an awful slump early, hitting just .240 through March and April. In May, he's hitting .303 and has three homer and three RBIs over his last three games.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes hit two homers last night but the Mets still lost to the Marlins 7-3, and Reyes commented on the tough defeat following the game, according to MetsBlog.com. Reyes said, "It’s nice to have two home runs in the game, but we need a win and we didn’t get it. But, there’s a lot of baseball left. This team just has to keep fighting. We are a very good team. We’re gonna turn it around. We believe in this talent, and we’re gonna be fine."
|
Our View: Reyes has reached base in 26 straight games, but the Mets are only 11–15 over the span.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes homered twice on Monday night but it wasn't enough as the Mets fizzled on offense otherwise in a 7-3 loss to the Florida Marlins. |
Our View: The two home runs gives Reyes six long balls on the season. The Mets shortstop is having a stellar May at the plate, but his defense has taken a back seat as he committed another critical error in the Monday loss.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes has reached base safely in 21 straight games dating back to April 27, according to MLB.com. He will look to keep the streak going tonight against hurler Tim Hudson and the Braves. |
Our View: Reyes is hitting .315 over 18 games in May, with 11 runs scored, two homers, nine RBI, and eight stolen bases.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets struggled to get the offense going this evening as they suffered a loss in the second game of a double-header against Atlanta, falling 6-2. However, New York shortstop Jose Reyes is starting to show a small glimmer of life in what has been a disappointing campaign thus far. Reyes went 2-for-4 with an RBI, raising his batting average to .272. |
Our View: Unfortunately, Reyes was caught stealing for the fifth time this season, but he has gone 8-for-22 over his last four, including two home runs and five RBIs.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is slowly starting to recapture his previous level of performance as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored on Sunday. |
Our View: Reyes is still hitting just .267 and getting on base roughly a third of the time, a number that simply must increase to previous levels if Reyes is to ignite the Mets order, and it would be nice to see him run a bit more too since he has only two SB in his last 12 games.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes halted a mini-skid by going 3-for-5 with a double, two runs, and two steals against the Reds on Sunday. He came into the game 3-for-25 over the past even contests. |
Our View: Reyes has had only one hot stretch this season, and even that time was just for one week. He is going to catch fire at some point.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets couldn't get their bats going in the second game of their double-header with the Reds today, falling 7-1 to the Cincinnati Reds. In a continued line of concern, SS Jose Reyes just can't seem to get going, hitting 1-for-4 today with his seventh double of the season. The outing is tainted with two strike outs. |
Our View: Through the month of May, Reyes has totaled seven hits (no home runs), three RBIs, six walks and six strike outs.
|
|
|
|
| Mets SS Jose Reyes continues to struggle at the plate, going 1-for-5 with no walks and one strike out on the evening. |
Our View: Reyes posted his 13th RBI of the season, but in his last 14 games, Reyes has posted just two multi-hit games with four combined RBIs and no home runs.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes continues to stretch his legs. He went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a walk, and a stolen base on Sunday. Reyes has swiped a bag in three straight games and six bases over the last 10 contests. |
Our View: It's never surprising to see Jose go on a tear like this. Fantasy owners should be pleased with the way he is coming on after a relatively quiet start.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes had two hits, two runs, two RBI and a SB on Saturday for the Mets. One of the two hits was a double, the other his second home run. |
Our View: So much for Reyes struggling. He looked great today and seemed to have some of the old spring back in his step. He's good to go in all weekly leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Mets SS Jose Reyes got knocked around a bit in New York's 6-4 win over the Phillies on Friday. |
Our View: Reyes hit his head on the knee of Philadelphia 2B Chase Utley during a head-first slide, attempting to steal second. Reyes was attended to by the trainers and remained in the game, and at this point, we have no reason to believe there is reason for concern.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes took a shot to the head from the knee of Phillies shortstop Eric Bruntlett in the third inning on Friday night during a SB attempt, but he was able to remain in the game after a long pause, this according to the NY Post. |
Our View: Reyes was able to stay in and he eventually scored later in the inning. Stay tuned for further updates.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes recorded his third straight multi-hit game during Thursday's 14 inning win over the Nationals. The Mets shortstop was 2-for-6 with a run scored. |
Our View: Reyes still has only one stolen base in three attempts.
|
|
|
|
| Mets SS Jose Reyes is working into top form once again, swinging a hot bat in New York's 0-6 win over the Washington Nationals this evening. Reyes went 4-for-5 at the plate with his third double, his first triple, and one run scored and one strike out. |
Our View: The young gem of the Mets organization has started a bit slow, but this game shows he's headed in the right direction.
|
|
|
|
| Contrary to an earlier report by the NY Post, Mets' manager Willie Randolph announced that Jose Reyes will play tonight, this according to Newsday.com. |
Our View: According to the report, Randolph will drop Luis Castillo to the eighth slot in the lineup and move Ryan Church behind leadoff hitter Reyes. Don't expect Reyes to come flying out of the blocks. Owners who believed the speedster would steal 70 bases this year might have to temper their expectations. The Mets shortstop currently has but one stolen base.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes is expected to sit tonight against Washington, according to the NY Post. He will miss his third straight game due to his hamstring ailment, and GM Omar Minaya noted that Reyes tested his hamstring on the field this morning, and added that the team wants to give him one more day of rest before putting him back in the lineup. |
Our View: Damion Easley will continue to man shortstop until he is ready to return.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes will be re-evaluated today, according to the NY Post. He is suffering from a hamstring strain, but noted that the ailment is feeling a little bit better. He remains unsure about rejoining the lineup tomorrow for a three-game home series with the Nationals, however. |
Our View: Damion Easley will man shortstop until Reyes is ready to return.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes hopes that he will be able to return from his hamstring strain on Tuesday, this according to the NY Daily News. |
Our View: Reyes sat out on Saturday, and plans to do so again on Sunday before the Mets off-day on Monday. We aren't overly panicked if he returns by that date, but if he doesn't, consider us extremely nervous.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes will miss at least two games with a sore left hamstring, according to the AP. Manager Randolph commented, "We’ll let the injury calm down for a day or two." |
Our View: Damion Easley will fill in at shortstop until he can return.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes will not play on Saturday, due to his hamstring ailment that he sustained last night, according to NewYorkMetsNews.com. The severity of the ailment is yet to be determined. |
Our View: This is a shame, as Reyes finally broke out of his slump and registered a stolen base.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was forced from the Mets game on Friday after five innings because of a sore left hamstring, this according to the AP. Something has obviously been bothering Reyes as he has only attempted two steals in nine games this season, and given that he is hitting .195 through 41 AB perhaps a day or two off may be beneficial. |
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes has not stolen a base in 21 straight games, dating back to last season, according to MLB.com. He is only hitting .200 over 30 at bats at well, with only one double and no triples, and he stated, "It's not where I want to be, but I feel better." Hopefully he can get on track and regain his spark soon. |
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes was 2-for-4 in Monday's win over the Fish. The Mets shortstop added a run, an RBI and was caught stealing in his first attempt of the season. Reyes has swiped 60, 64 and 78 bases the last three years, and was off and running in the opening day win. |
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes has swiped 60, 64 and 78 bases the last three years. Could he steal even more this season? "Probably I'm going to be a little faster this year," he tells the New York Daily News. Reyes did more long distance running this offseason in order to increase his endurance. |
|
|
|
| Three teams have emerged as the front-runners to land Johan Santana, but the Mets are not one of them because they are refusing to give up Jose Reyes. "I like going after the big fish, but I can't rob Peter to pay Paul," Omar Minaya said in the NY Post. "I'm not getting rid of Jose Reyes." The Post speculates that the three main contenders for Santana are the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers, though the Cubs, Mariners and Angels have been linked in the discussions, as well. |
|
|
|
| Despite reportedly saying there was "no doubt" he would be in the lineup Thursday, Jose Reyes did not take part in the contest against the Cubs. He was still dealing with the effects of a cramped hamstring from the day before. The Mets were just being safe with their star, so he should be back in the mix Friday. If he isn't able to face the Yankees this weekend, then obviously it would be time to get concerned. |
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes said there's "no doubt" he will be in the lineup on Thursday. Reyes suffered a cramp in his left hamstring on Wednesday night. "I've had so many injuries to my hamstring in the past, I had to be careful," Reyes explained to the New York Post. |
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes left Wednesday's game with slight tightness in his left hamstring, the AP reports. He's considered day-to-day. |
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes went off in Wednesday's victory over the Dodgers, picking up three hits, four runs and three stolen bases. For the spring he's batting .377 with 10 steals in 11 chances. |
|
|
|
| The Mets are not going to allow Jose Reyes to play winter ball, not wanting to take any chances with their star shortstop, according to the AP.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Reyes took a jolt to his left upper chest in a home-plate collision Thursday but says he's fine, the New York Daily News reports. "Same spot as Boston," he said. "For the moment I stayed there to see if everything was okay." |
|
|
|
| The Mets signed Jose Reyes to a four-year, $23.25 million contract extension. The deal includes a club option for 2011 worth $11 million. Reyes has emerged as one of the best players in the game this season, drawing more walks and hitting for greater power to complement his dynamic baserunning. |
