Newsbreakers

October 15, 2009

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.

October 13, 2009

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.

October 1, 2009

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.

September 30, 2009

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.

September 30, 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.

September 26, 2009

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.

September 22, 2009

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.

September 10, 2009

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.

September 2, 2009

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.

August 28, 2009

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.

August 22, 2009

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.

August 5, 2009

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.

August 4, 2009

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.

July 31, 2009

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.

July 28, 2009

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.

July 25, 2009

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.

July 24, 2009

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.

July 21, 2009

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.

July 18, 2009

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.

July 16, 2009

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.

July 13, 2009

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.

July 10, 2009

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.

July 8, 2009

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.

July 8, 2009

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.

July 7, 2009

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.

July 6, 2009

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.

July 1, 2009

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.

June 30, 2009

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.

June 27, 2009

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.

June 26, 2009

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.

June 23, 2009

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.

June 22, 2009

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.

June 20, 2009

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.

June 19, 2009

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.

June 17, 2009

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.

June 9, 2009

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.

June 5, 2009

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.

June 4, 2009

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.

June 4, 2009

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.

June 3, 2009

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.

May 29, 2009

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.

May 26, 2009

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.

May 25, 2009

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.

May 25, 2009

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.

May 24, 2009

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.

May 23, 2009

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.

May 22, 2009

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.

May 21, 2009

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.

May 21, 2009

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.

May 19, 2009

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.

May 19, 2009

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.

May 18, 2009

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.

May 18, 2009

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.

May 16, 2009

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.

May 15, 2009

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.

May 14, 2009

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.

May 13, 2009

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.

May 10, 2009

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.

May 9, 2009

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.

April 18, 2009

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.

April 17, 2009

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.

April 11, 2009

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.

March 28, 2009

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.

March 26, 2009

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.

March 19, 2009

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.

March 14, 2009

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.

March 12, 2009

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.

March 11, 2009

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.

March 3, 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.

February 26, 2009

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.

February 18, 2009

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.

February 14, 2009

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.
