News: Reyes to Play in Simulated Game
Anthony McCarron, in today’s Daily News, is reporting that Jose Reyes will play in a simulated game today in Port St. Lucie.
Reyes, who has been frustrated that he has been unable to play, told McCarron:
“It’s going to be hard for me to wait until I’m 100 percent… Maybe that doesn’t happen this year. After rest and the offseason, maybe it’ll be 100 percent next year. If I feel like I’m 80 percent and able to go, I’m going to play because I don’t know if 100 percent is going to be there this year. I might have to learn to play at 80 percent.”
…given the Mets position in the standings, if he is not 100 percent, i can’t say that i agree he should come back and risk further injury that could sideline him into next season…
…however, there is still a lot of baseball left in 2009 and if the Phillies slip and the Mets can gain some ground in the coming weeks in the division and Wild Card, it might make sense to bring him back…
