2009 Mets Outlook – Shortstop – Jose Jose Jose Jose!!!

Well we all know about the Mets at the Shortstop position….Jose…Jose..Jose..Joseeeee!  None other than Jose Reyes. This guy is a true pleasure to watch and will continue to be this season.

Less Swipes More RBI's?

Well there’s no telling how Jose Reyes will do because he just got back from playing in WBC. While in WBC, he only was 1-9. Jose will bat third in lineup according to Jerry Manuel. Luis Castillo has had pretty good spring training so far as the leadoff hitter, there’s no telling if this something that’s going to carry over into the regular season.

Overall I will look for a better fielding year for Jose this year, and one can expect him to show off the cannon early and often. I expect a dip in Stolen Bases, and a bit of a higher average than last season. More Home runs, and RBI’s is a given (I feel).

God forbid he gets injured…There’s a couple of young guys who are in development for the backup position. There’s a youngster by the name of Wilmer Flores, who’s only 16-17 years old. Then there’s the Reese Havens who’s been seeing some playing time while Jose was playing in WBC.

Coming Up next….Right Field.
