The Mets got some really great news yesterday. Jose Reyes was cleared to return to baseball activities. It is unclear if he will resume today and it is still unclear if he will be ready for Openning Day but it is so good to just have Reyes back. Before we get to what this means for the Mets, here is the back of the New York Post:

In terms of the lineup (without getting into the whole batting leadoff vs batting 3rd arguement), this will most likely put a damper on the whole Tejada vs Cora arguement. That debate was more relavent when it seemed like the Mets could go possibly through May without Reyes. Before the news of Reyes returning, I was for Tejada because he is a better defensive player than Cora. However now that the time without Reyes has been severely shortened I am for Cora to fill in any time in the regular season that Reyes will miss because now the Mets will not have to waste options on Tejada (in other words, now my decision is soley based from an adminstration point of view).
Just an all around good day for the Amazin's.
