Reyes Hurt Again

Jose Reyes now has a torn hamstring to go with his torn tendon behind his right knee. He tore his hammy while running the bases in New York earlier this week. Which begs the questions why was he running and was he running with the intent of playing in the last couple of games?

Reyes should have been shut down earlier this year and had the necessary surgery to fix his tendon. The Mets mishandled another players injury and this time it has bigger consequences that it did with Church. Reyes is one of the faces of the franchise and a big part of the Mets future, so their is no reason to try experimental treatment in season to try and get him back this year.

At first, yes go ahead and try the treatment, but once it fails move on do the surgery. It is now September 30th, the season has been over for 2 months, and if finally looks like Reyes is heading for surgery.

I just hope that Reyes injury only affects this season, not the mistreatment of the injury affecting next season.
