While in the Dominican Republic today, Mets GM Omar Minaya visited Jose Reyes and prohibited him from playing winter ball with the Cibao Gigantes.
“Reyes is an important part of our team,’’ said Minaya. “That’s why the Mets’ organization decided that he will not play. We want him to keep healthy for the next season.’’
Wise move. Reyes was prone to injuries early in his career, and after his breakout year last summer they need to protect their investment.

Hi John – Sorry, I don’t really want to hear about Omar anymore. I still can’t believe he actually paid to have Mota come back—what is that telling everyone????
It says confess, repent and forgive.
Joan, the rules don’t say 1 failed test and you’re out of baseball. It says do the time and you can still play. It’s not like he committed some unforgiveable offense against humanity. He was struggling in his career, and desperate to keep his job did what desperate men do…anything he could do.
I’d much rather give someone like him a second chance than the large number of cheaters out there who refuse to take responsibility and fess up.
