Given the New York Mets notorious injury history, depth is never a bad thing. This year the Mets have it. For Jose Reyes, that means venturing into unchartered territory.
For most of his career, Reyes didn’t even have to look at the lineup card. It was a foregone conclusion that his name would be penciled in at the top-of-the-order. Even after returning to the Mets, he might have had to take a gander as to where, but in all likelihood, the switch-hitting Reyes could rely on the fact that he was going to get at-bats no matter who was toeing the mound for the opposition.
