Reyes batting 3rd starts friday night at Citi Field?


Looks like the Mets lack of hitting as made Manager Jerry make a move with the batting order starting friday. Mr Rubin is reporting that the Mets will send Jose Jose Jose Reyes to the 3rd spot in the order starting with Friday's night action with the Braves in front of the 66M dollar man Jason Bay.

What this does for Jason Bay who added to his total of strikeouts last night means he will hopefully see more fastballs. The Mets need him to get going so they can ride his shoulders for a couple of weeks while Beltran is out.

I am not a big fan of this move. I think Reyes is a # 1 hitter and maybe I can see him batting 2nd with Pagan batting first but not 3rd. Also Manager Jerry had mentioned that he would like to put a lefty in between the 3 righties.

Can tonights lineup be something like. Pagan,Castillo,Reyes,Bay,Wright,Davis,Francoueur,Barajas,Maine?

Just a note about seeing fastballs. Bay has seen plenty of fastballs he is just missing them or not swinging at them.

Of course the lineup could be just the same as always. Which means look for the buzz kill twins of Wright and Bay to kill a rally or 2.
