Batting Reyes Third

There is talk that Jerry Manuel will attempt to use Jose Reyes in the three hole in the beginning of the season at least until Carlos Beltran returns from the DL.Jose is one of the best lead off hitters in the game. As I have documented before, as Jose Reyes goes, so go the Mets. Personally I think Reyes is best suited to leading off, getting on base, and causing havoc on the base paths, batting him third can only mean that in a good situation, other runners ahead of him will prevent him from stealing bases. That being said, I think I understand Jerry's logic.The way the lineup looks with Reyes batting first is a mess. Assume you bat Reyes first and the combination of Wright and Bay in the 3-4 slot or the 4-5 slot. In those cases the Mets will have to either bat...1) Luis Castillo, Angel Pagan, or Daniel Murphy in the 3 hole, or 2) Daniel Murphy or Jeff Francoeur in the 5 hole. both options are bad.ReyesCastillo/Pagan/MurphyCastillo/Pagan/MurphyWrightBayFrancoeurCastillo/Pagan/M...
