There have been conflicting reports about when Jose Reyes will return from an inflamed thyroid. Do you think sea food caused it? Come on, seriously?
Here's what I think happened:
Jose was desperate to return to the Mets. He went to Dr. Galea for the "blood spinning" treatment for his hamstring. Fine. But, what other “Dr. Galea’s Secrets” else did he use to get better? HGH? I don't know. The same goes for Tiger Woods and my buddy A-Rod. If they used illegal substances, their careers are in big trouble.
Here's what I do know:
(1) Reyes will be out 2 to 8 weeks. Given conditioning time (redoing Spring Training), he probably won't be back until June 1. Same timetable for Beltran but for different reasons.
(2) Linda, Steve, and I normally e-mail each other lots during Spring Training in anticipation of the upcoming season. But, it's too depressing this year and the season hasn't started yet.
