Multiple reports out yesterday say that Jerry Manuel is thinking about batting Jose Reyes third.
WHAT??????
I came to like Jerry last year, but even the thought of doing this makes absolutely no sense. Reyes (or as my Mets Police colleage calls him Over-Reyes) does not have eitther the discipline or the tempermant for that slot. Plus, why would you put your fastest player in the three hole? Can anyone show me where that has happened before?
If this is the type of decision Jerry’s going to be making in 2009, I really fear for this season.
