The reality of the roster that Jeff Wilpon has commissioned to send into spring training is looking more and more like the 1962 Mets than anything I have seen since the early 2000’s.

Terry Collins knows that Ruben Tejada is not late. He also knows that the young man who will replace Jose Reyes has already impressed with hustle and precocious baseball instincts. The manager even called himself “selfish” for wishing that Tejada was already in Port St. Lucie. But still, despite all those qualifications, Collins’ visceral desire remains: He wants Tejada in camp, now.
