If he comes back healthy and is stealing bases he's a lot more valuable than Feliz. I'm not sold that Feliz's BA and HRs aren't a fluke.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

Not according to the specialist who corrected the problem so let's hope this guy knows what he's talking about. Remember that the last setback was a sympton of the treatment not a reinjury.

Yeah, i hope so, but history isn't good for this guy is it? What's he hurt his hammy 3 times now in the last year? I am hoping he comes back as I am a X-Reyes ower and a Piazza owner and am excited for more of Piazza's solo homers and no one on singles and doubles to get some more RBI's some time!!!
The chronic nature of this injury scares the heck out of me as a Mets fan. I just prefer to look at the bright side and hope this specialist is as good as the Mets claim he is.

I have him in several leagues, but recently dropped him in one. I picked him up last year and got a taste of his potential and retained him. But I'm highly frustrated. I'm pretty sure he'll come back soon and show flashes of brilliance, upon which he'll get hurt and I will drop him altogether.
I had him at short last year in a points league and he was spectacular at worst... I am very excited to have him even if he doesn't come back till my playoff time... plus there is a small chance he might be playing in a better lineup or park soon if the Mets need a big bat, which they do....

I know I must sound like a broken record because I've replied to this type of comment numerous times. I think Piazza has a better chance of getting traded than Reyes does. Reyes and Wright are as close to untouchable as any player the Mets have.
