I was so Right – Jose Reyes will Start the Season on the Disabled List!

Last Tuesday I’d hoped Jose Reyes would not start the season on the disabled list. Sure enough he is! Late last night the Mets placed Reyes on the 15-day DL retroactive to March 26th. This will allow Reyes to return for next weekend if he’s ready. One school of thought is that this is a good move, ensuring he’s 100% before returning. My thought is that the Mets knew this all along and desired to sell as many tickets as possible. It’s tough not being cynical. Either way he’s not “returning to baseball activities” any time soon. This past week he looked very average against minor leaguers and clearly wasn’t ready. I hope they don’t extend his DL stint this time.
