So it looks like Jose Reyes will be batting 3rd this upcoming weekend in St. Louis. Jerry Manuel has been trying to make this happen for quite some time, and Manuel feels now Reyes is ready. So what do i think:I think it is something the Mets NEED to do until Carlos Beltran returns. For 0ne, it spreads out the lineup a ton more and it will push David Wright to potentially the 5th hole which is more of an RBI hole. This also keeps Bay in the clean spot, and Francoeur down to sixth, so this move just moves everyone down more, so even after for instance a pitcher gets the 1,2, & 3 batters, the next inning he faces, Bay, Wright, & Frency. I am excited to see what Reyes brings to the table batting third, which really could be in effect as soon as tomorrow.Here is tomorrows potential batting order:
1. CF Angel Pagan
2. 2B Luis Castillo
3. SS Jose Reyes
4. LF Jason Bay
5. 3B David Wright
6. 1B Mike Jacobs
7. RF Jeff Francoeur
8. C Rod Barajas
9. Pitcher
