Adios

One of the great strategies in baseball is to be "strong up the middle"; that means catcher, SS, 2B and CF.

Word is that Jose Reyes has signed with the Florida Miami Marlins for 2012 and beyond. You can read it here on Matt Cerrone's blog. Seems like the NY Mets never really tried. Kind of sad, Jose was a guy you loved to watch and play. He was a homegrown talent, now leaving for South Beach. No doubt he'll be hangin' with LeBron.

So where does that need the hapless (and hopeless) ones. AKA The Mets?

If you look at the middle right now - Thole and somebody else in a platoon behind the dish, Tejada at SS, Murphy or Turner or somebody at 2B and Pagan in CF. Inspiring.

And just wait, we might get to do this all over again with David Wright!

Awesome job.
