Too soon

I mean, really. 2-8 weeks as of 3/12 is, at earliest, 3/28. It’s not 3/28 yet. This has disaster written all over it.

this wasn't my first reaction to this news.

go back to bed debbie downer.

I'm an optimist, really

I just don’t trust the Mets medical team, and the last 12 months tells me that surprisingly optimistic news scares me.

Had the Mets said that his levels are normal and that, assuming no change for the worse, he’ll be back on Friday (3 days), that’d be awesome. But to bring a guy back on the turn of a dime — especially one whose instructions were to rest — scares me.

I completely understand what you're saying.

with the Mets you can never think too cautious but the season starts in 2 weeks. It’s time to be optimistic, that’s all we got.

by BigBoyJacobs on Mar 23, 2010 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions

this isn't a leg injury

i’m pretty sure it’s rather binary. if his levels are normal, he can play. if not, he can’t. playing won’t screw up his levels, but if his levels are bad then he can’t play.

Nope.

At the time Reyes would be out was announced, the Mets said that 1 week had already passed, leaving Reyes 1 to 7 weeks of rest.

Keep in mind that he sat around for 5 days prior to getting testing done,

and 2 more before the test results were confirmed.

Who cares how bad the Bay deal will look in 2013, the world is going to end in 2012 anyway

by Stephen Schmidt on Mar 23, 2010 12:40 PM EDT up reply actions

that would at earliest be at 3/26 not 3/28

which would be thursday anyway

Indeed

This perked me up. Now, I hope he doesn’t over do it either, but I think he should be ready for at least the second week of the season.

by Coolpapabell on Mar 23, 2010 12:28 PM EDT reply actions

good.

Now, how do we get tejeda on the big league ball club instead of Cora?

Note: Do not resort to violence!!!

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

If Jose is ready for opening day, then send Tejada down to learn to play 2B

and get him ready to take over for Castillo eventually.

There has to be a catch

They’re moving him to second base!

by Mount17 on Mar 23, 2010 12:31 PM EDT reply actions

The catch is he's not cleared to move fast

but Jerry thinks this will help him focus on being a 3 hitter and improve his game.

He's only there to teach Francoeur how to steal bases.

Not on the scoreboard. No interest there...

by Pack Bringley on Mar 23, 2010 12:42 PM EDT up reply actions

The catch is

he’s now Alex Cora’s backup

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Perhaps the best Mets related news since Livan was cut last year? I wonder if this also increases the odds of a Castillo for Lowell trade? Since Tejada/Cora could play 2nd?

by Mackey Sasser on Mar 23, 2010 2:12 PM EDT reply actions

is there even a point to trading castillo now?

there’s nobody worthwhile to replace him with anymore and i’d rather have castillo than tejada or cora.

unless you meant having tejada and cora manning second simultaneously, which is actually…quite brilliant

they could even bat from each side of the plate

when their lineup spot comes up. the platoon advantage would be insane

cora's option will probably vest

please keep that in mind anytime you mention his name. the mets #1 priority this year should be doing everything we can to stop that contract from vesting.
