Jose Reyes is back and ready to go
Welcome back Jose Reyes and not a moment to soon for the struggling New York Mets.
The Mets welcomed back their multi-talented shortstop and lead-off hitter back to their lineup on Saturday.
When Jose Reyes is healthy their is no questioning his talents, he has speed, power, gold glove defensive skills, and is the heartbeat of the Mets lineup. The key word in that sentence is healthy which for the last two seasons has been challenging for Reyes.
Reyes has not played in a Major league game since May 20th of last season.
Translation it's been about a year since Reyes has faced Major League pitchers. So some rust is to be expected from the dynamic young shortstop.
One thing for sure is Reyes is ready to go he arrived at Citi Field way before anyone else on Saturday. "Like 8:20 I was here," he said. "I got up like at 6 at my house watching my watch every 15 minutes. I couldn't wait to get to the ballpark."
Mets fans can rejoice knowing that the heartbeat is back, and their team is almost fully intact the only piece missing is outfielder Carlos Beltran who is due back in mid- June.
