MLB 2009-2010 Off Season Thread

I feel so bad for Jose Reyes. The good news is, his thyroid is simply overactive, and it will clear up on its own. The bad news is, it will be anywhere from 2-8 weeks before he can resume baseball activity. The numbers are definitely more in favor of him missing Opening Day. Dude came into camp in the best shape of his life and was running 100%, then this completely unrelated thing happens and could cause him to miss regular season time. Poor guy.

From a baseball perspective, the Mets are definitely fucked if he misses any significant time during the season. I felt they could get by without Beltran, but Reyes too is devastating. Alex Cora will probably get the bulk of playing time at shortstop, which means they'll have the worst defensive middle infield in baseball with a pitching staff that heavily relies on defense up the middle. Not good.

Get well soon, Jose.
