Honestly if its only till the All Star Break I would live with giving Sheffield more time in the OF and letting Murphy and Tatis platoon 1B

Reed can play here and their too

Every needs to calm down here about Reyes. Like someone earlier said, if you DL him now and he’s ready to go tomorrow, you’ve lost him for 10 healthy games. That really would be horrible roster management.

Especially with Delgado out until the ASB, a healthy Reyes is much more important than Reyes in the line-up tonight.

Reyes said he’s fine batting but the problem is running.
And they obviously don’t want to take a chance on putting him out there half assed and have something more serious happen b/c it’s not healed yet.
We can live w/o Jose for another 10 days on the DL. We certainly don’t want to lose him for 2 months, especially with no Delgado.

Give him the time he needs to heal.

I’m not liking how this team seems to approach games. They seem to approach everything on a broad scale, forgetting they were 1 win away the last two seasons from playoff contention. you cannot forfeit games to give “extra” rest.

shudderwings,
The Mets and their “handling” of injuries is an absolute joke. Did they really think sitting him out a few days was going to magically heal his injury, one that has apparently been with him for awhile (reaggrevated in the Nats game). It’s frustrating and I’m sure tough on the manager when they make you play a couple guys down when it could be avoided….

Hey, Reyes wants to play but he can’t and/or the docs won’t let him. Better to be cautious for the long run.

Well, I’m glad they waited a week to finally do what we thought all along.

Maybe they should have just brought him to LA and made him sit in the dugout for kicks.

We’ll see you in August, Carlos.
