If you were the Mets GM, how do you, or would you, plan for the next "generation" core. Omar brought in Pedro, Delgado ,had Reyes & Wright and threw up a flag that he was building a team to win now. That was a few years ago..The Mets haven't won anything other than a few playoff games. The Mets are perceived as bumblers and the links on this board from sportswriters would lead you to believe the Mets have done little right since inception and don't know how to tie their shoes ... Make David Wright a Met for life and beyond that all jobs are open competition, sans Santana

[Benjamin Grimm]

BTW- who is this guy L. Hernandez who has played some games at short for the Mets this spring? And he's done it in games in which A. Hernndez has played, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a misprint.

Luis Hernandez. Only 25 but already with his 4th organization. Said to be good with the leather but not much of a hitter in previous coffee breaks with the Royals and O's.

I saw him make an error in that game against the Astros the other day.

You're having them move him after the season? I thought he was being cashed in after a few weeks ("as long as it doesn't involve a safe word").

[ashie62]

either or....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, it's a very different position, so I'm not sure what we're talking about.

[ashie62]

I would like to see Reyes play enough MLB baseball to increase the value of the return.

This morning on WFAN, Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts talked to Dr. Christine Resta, a thyroid specialist, about the situation with Jose Reyes.

To listen to the full interview, go to WFAN.com.

In short, Dr. Resta said, because his thyroid levels are fast, it could make his heart rate increase, even when he is sitting still, �So, if you exert yourself, you can put too much strain on the heart.�

In such cases, she tells her patients to cut back on exerting themselves, �at least until your levels get better.�

In her opinion, based on what she has read and heard, �It sounds like he has thyroiditis, which does get better by itself,� but, �the beginning part, could be as short as a few weeks, but it could be longer and take two months.�

Dr. Resta says medication will not help thyroiditis, �because it�s like getting a virus in your thyroid,� you can only wait for the levels to get better.

In men, thyroiditis is typically caused by a virus, which is common, or an auto-immune condition, though diet should not be an issue, though it can be.

In her opinion, she has never heard of HGH causing thyroiditis.

In the end, she said, �If his thyroid is very fast and he really over exerts himself, he could develop palpitations, irregular heartbeat, older people can have heart-attacks, because it really is a strain on the heart, even for younger, healthy people,� like Reyes.

Dr. Resta said, in most people, it takes three to four weeks before they see better blood levels.

The Mets should hire Dr. Resta as Director of Medicine

But did Benigno understand any of her answers? -- I'm guessing not.

LOL!
He asked a lot of questions, so maybe he was trying to understand.

The main reason Benigno never liked Rick Peterson is that he was always so confused by the fact that RP never gave the standard jock answers in interviews. Joe's reaction was along the lines of; 'I can't understand it therefore it must be bullshit'
