EXPECTATIONS for 18: José Reyes

Edgy MD Mar 27 2018 07:50 PM

I nearly played my way off the team in the first third of last season, and while I didn't quite recover enough to "save" my season, I ended up outlasting the field and posting the most plate appearances on the team. I led the team in stolen bases with 24 also. Second most was Lagares and Rosario with seven apiece. A man has to have his pride, you know. And it's that pride that brings me back. Will I be a feast-or-famine player again? Will I be the positive role model for Amed Rosario that the Mets hope I'll be? Will I get comfortable in the outfield? Will I end up out-plate-tripping a bunch of starters again. I'm José Reyes, and I'm only 286 off the all-time Mets lead in base hits. I've got business to attend to.

I keep avoiding these "expectations" threads. I keep thinking, "I'll get to that eventually". And now there's only a couple of days left and then expectations turn into realities. You guys know me though. You can assume that I would expect the best from all players donning the blue and orange. And, BTW, Reyes will do great things in 2018!

The less he plays, the better it will mean for our season. I fear he'll play a good amount.

80 games, 160PA. 15 SB. .260/.320/.400 in an odd twist, he's cut in August for David Wright.

Interesting that the fans really don't love Jose anymore, even those who damned the Mets for letting him go. Jose will hit an inside the park home run this year, that's my expectation

Newsday says Mets are considering releasing Jose. https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball ... 1.19011938

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Newsday says Mets are considering releasing Jose. https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball ... 1.19011938 That's almost definitely sourced, without citing it, from Mike Puma's tweet which is sketchy at best about the reasons they haven't.

Assuming he's released.. A) Mets would be on the hook for his salary. Do you think another team would claim him? or B) Is there another role in the organization for him, like what the Mariners did for Ichiro? The team could then do something special, such as add him to the Mets Hall of Fame. Not saying retire his number, but he's certainly worthy of the team Hall.

Edgy MD Jun 07 2018 12:50 PM Re: EXPECTATIONS for 18: José Reyes

The Mets are on the hook for only $2 million with Reyes, of which 1/3 is already spent, for sub-replacement-player return, so I don't see that being much of an issue.

batmagadanleadoff Jun 07 2018 12:52 PM Re: EXPECTATIONS for 18: José Reyes

I feel pretty certain that Jose's days as a Mets player are numbered. And I'm not basing my opinion on anything I've read.

I'm telling you guys, they're waiting for David Wright to replace him. It's a weird Met thing. Ceetar deserves credit for this great idea but I'm acting like it's mine.

Which means he's *already* more qualified than anyone in our bullpen right now!
