Baby steps for the Mets shortstop Jose Reyes.

Remember at the beginning of spring training when the Mets had finally let hit Mr Jose hit ? It was an intrasquad game and what did he do ? He smacked a triple in his first at bat. Of course that seems almost as along ago as when Reyes played in his last game in 2009 which was back in May!!!

Well thyroid over and hamstring over and we know see Reyes playing on the backfields with cameras that are behind fences. It is funny to watch Reyes go from the game yesterday and having the cameras following him on another field to run and cut the bases.

To me the Mets are being cautious because they want Mr Reyes back for the full year not just opening day. I have no problem with how long it takes. If he doesn’t get back into the first game I will not lose sleep over it. The Mets pitching too me is a much bigger concern then if Reyes is in the opening day line up or in the first series against the Marlins.

If the Mets want to be cautious with Reyes to begin the season that is fine. Do you think they can maybe channel this way of thinking throughout the year? Probably not but its nice to see that everyone on the team is on the same page with the workouts and also the comments that come out of Reyes and manager Jerry’s mouth. Everyone says the same thing. We take it 1 day at a time. I know its tough for Reyes since he is ready to I think explode. Nice to see the Mets maybe ..do I dare use Manager Jerry’s line …Maturing….
