Mets move into Boston with Jose Reyes but will he play?

As we have noted here Jose Reyes will not be spending time on the DL . He will nurse his leg as well as he can . The Mets according to the Daily News will just sit tight and not make any moves to obtain a player. The Mets feel that Jose will not miss any major time.

So that being said we get to watch Journeyman Ramon Martinez play shortstop in Boston I am sure for at least the first game of the series. Oh boy. I know they have said Jose is day to day. He was day to day last time and he played 1 game and 3 innings of the 2nd before he had to sit. Why they so sure that this will not happen again. If it does then the Mets will be more desperate to have a player brought in.

That is why I think the Mets should make a move now. If they have someone in mind then pull the trigger. Just make it someone who is a shortstop. Not a 2nd baseman brought in to play shortstop . As it is the Mets have enough players playing out of position. Then when Castillo goes 0-8 in the first 2 games of the Red Sox series Ramon can play second. Hey Omar make a move now! Reyes needs a backup regardless if he is able to play and Ramon Martinez right now is not it!
