As I write this the Mets are four games below .500 and 11.5 games out of the wild-card spot. If it matters any they're also 20.5 games behind the Phillies. In other words the 2011 season is over and it's time to look towards 2012. Now mind you, the 2011, considering the circumstances, Mets have played well and when all's said and done this is still Omar Minaya's fault/team. But the big question that has to be on Met fans minds is where do we go from here and to me, that starts with the Mets being left with no choice but to resign Joe Reyes.
I mean, so many injuries and visits to the disabled list for such a young, seemingly fit 28yo man is startling (to say the least) and its Sandy Alderson's job to find some kind of solution to the problem. But without Reyes this team just has no hope, it's that simple. And no it doesn't mean you give Reyes a blank check, because Reyes and his agent need to be fair to the Mets and honest about themselves and Reyes' injuries too. But the Mets must resign him, they just must. Their future literally hangs in the balance.
