Here are my all-time best New York Mets By Position… When I picked my team, I only considered their contributions while a member of the Mets. If they played longer for the Mets, I gave them a slight bump in rankings since their impact on the Mets should be greater than someone playing only a couple seasons. As a general note, I started watching the Mets around 1985-86 so my choices will be biased towards Mets who have played in the 80s or later. My squad contains one player at each position, five starters and a relief pitcher/closer. I listed other people I considered in the running for each position. OK.. Here is my all-time Mets squad.

The Mets may finally be getting the hang of this public relations thing. The team announced Thursday that the average season ticket for 2010 would cost 10 percent less than it did this season, with cuts of as much as 20 percent in some locations. According to the team, every season ticket holder will wind up with a lower invoice than they had this year, although per-game ticket prices will remain the same in some instances.

The Mets say that the decision was made in deference to the economy, which is a lot easier than saying that we’re charging you less because of how awful we were this season. The economic realities of 2009 were certainly a consideration, but someone in the Mets realized that they’ve got a pretty ticked off fanbase these days and keeping them in the building was going to take more than the promise that things would better next year when all the players were healthy.

That was true even before the news that Jose Reyes tore his hamstring became public knowledge, but was twice as true when the ticket pricing announcement was actually made. One of the linchpins that the Mets could use as a selling point for a brighter tomorrow is now a gigantic question mark as the offseason gets underway, raising the possibility that the Mets could be looking for help at shortstop in addition to all of the other holes that need filling around the league.

Mets shortstop Jose Reyes took indoor batting practice before Monday’s game against Atlanta and still holds out hope for a return to the field before the season ends, according to the New York Daily News.

Reyes, who has not played since May 20 and was diagnosed with a complete tear of his right hamstring last month, told the Daily News that he will continue taking batting practice for the remainder of the week, and will have a key running session on the field Friday. Should the running session go well, Reyes told the paper he will attempt to play in one or the two final games next week

The Mets have already gotten half of their four core offensive players back in the first 10 days of September. The team is now holding out hope it could have all of them back in the lineup by the end of the season.


While it’s too late for 2009, that doesn’t mean it’s not a significant early indicator for the team in ‘10.

“The more questions we can answer now as far as health goes, the better we are in Spring Training,” manager Jerry Manuel said before Wednesday’s game with the Marlins.

That’s the reason that, despite the Mets’ losing record, Carlos Beltran returned to the lineup on Tuesday night and Jose Reyes still hopes to play by the end of the year.

The chances of Mets shortstop Jose Reyes returning to the field this season took a hit Wednesday, when a magnetic resonance imaging exam revealed what the team referred to as “significant scar tissue and inflammation behind the right knee, related to the hamstring tendon injury, which has caused continued pain.”

Reyes, who has not played a game for the Mets since May 20, was examined by team physician Dr. Struan Coleman at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Carlos Delgado and Jose Reyes gave the New York Mets injury updates the team was happy to receive.

The injured stars had encouraging workouts Sunday, and judging by the way manager Jerry Manuel beamed when discussing their progress it must have seemed like the first bit of good news in a couple of miserable months for the banged-up club.

The Mets have talked progressively about treading water, about staying above .500, and now about remaining within striking distance until their injured stars return from the disabled list.

That task may have become even harder on Tuesday, with the news that the Mets will begin the second half of the season the same way they’re ending the first — without Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Jose Reyes and without any timetables as to when they may return.

Jose Reyes said he felt fine after hitting Friday night for the first time since he suffered a small tear in his right hamstring during a rehab assignment. The Mets’ shortstop said he felt well enough to progress to taking ground balls Saturday, but the rain before the game against the Rays at Citi Field prevented him from taking that next step.

“I’d like to be on the field, no doubt,” Reyes said before returning to the indoor batting cage yesterday. “I don’t worry about taking ground balls. “I worry about running, that’s the key.”
