Reyes Getting Better, Maine Getting Worse

Written by Sach C. July 24, 2009 at 9:20 am

Today brings with it some assorted good and bad news about injured players.

SS Jose Reyes ran the bases for the first time since his leg injury (tendinitis), and took fielding and throwing practice. Reyes ran from first to third, and is likely to run full-speed on Saturday. If his Saturday outing goes well, he could begin a rehab assignment soon.

John Maine’s (shoulder) news was not as good. Mets fans will hold their breath when Maine is scheduled to visit Dr. James Andrews about recurring discomfort in his shoulder. Maine threw a short bullpen session, and said that he still felt pain in the injured shoulder.

“It doesn’t feel great,” Maine said after Thursday’s brief session. “Pain is the wrong word. It’s discomfort. Tuesday it felt all right, but the days in between, it’s hard. It aches a little bit, but what are you going to do? There’s always a chance that you’re not going to go out there and do your best. It’s not too bad pitching; it’s just the days in between.”

If the news is bad, Maine would likely miss the rest of the season.

    I would just shut down Maine for the rest of the season, and let him get ready for next year. His returning this year doesn’t do anything for us, so they should just let him heal.

    In the off season, I continuously wrote about how something didnt sound right about Maine returning so soon from a shoulder surgery. It’s just another example of how dysfunctional the Mets have become when it comes to injuries. Everytime I saw Maine being referred to as a part of the rotation, I never thought it would happen. My worry is now that the Mets have caused some structural damage.

    If Maine does require further surgery, how much you want to bet the Mets will deemphasize it by saying that he’ll be ready to go in spring training?

    I think at this point where the Mets are in the standings, let Maine go home and rest his shoulder so he is healthy by spring training. I dont think they should rush reyes back either, but with reyes it would be nice to get him back so if he plays well…his trade value will go up a bit

  4. D.C. says:

    Omar lied again to us about players being better than injuries are worst than ever. Man, this season has gone down to the toilet.

  5. AJ says:

    Listen I agree with everyone that injuries are killing us, but funnier things have happened in baseball so don’t give up hope so soon. There is still alot of baseball to play. Lets look at the solutions instead of the problems. We are getting to look at some of our younger players. Thier get the experience the need to make it in the big leagues. Remember TRUE METS FANS do not give up, so keep your heads up high and stay on the positive note and maybe this could turn around. I hope the players do the same…LETS GO METS!!!!

      I agree with you completely on not giving up. there is still time and we have some room still. i say go after Adam Dunn to play first or left field. he strikes out a lot but hes got power that we dont, so having him around would be a good thing. having him would change the lineup a bit and add depth to it. if we do get him, it wouldnt be for a lot, hes on a 1 yr deal (i think) so im guessing we wouldnt give up much for him. this is a chance you have to take and i would do it in a heartbeat
