I have one rule in fantasy baseball: when considering a Met, go with Plan B. In my 38 years as a baseball fan, I have never heard of a player missing time with a thyroid problem...but if it could happen, it would happen to the Mets.

Last year, I felt and wrote that David Wright was as close to a roto sure thing as there was. Young, injury free, consistent, controversy free, no hint of steroids aiding him, good surrounding lineup. Combination of being a lock, but also having upside. I rued not being fortunate enough to draft him. But I forgot my one rule and sure enough...

What's that noise? Oh, it's Wright and Bay dropping on draft boards. No Reyes, No Beltran, No problem?

Here are a few more with thyroid cancer (year of diagnosis):

Eli Marrero (1998)

Danny Jackson (1995)

Jerry DiPoto (1994)

Hell, I just played hoops with a thyroid condition. I sure hope it's not worse than taking synthroid every day. This does NOT sound good.

Good point, though I feel like Davis' issue fell under the heading of "cancer" as opposed to thyroid problem. I just looked hyperthyroidism up and one potential cause is listed as "certain medications and supplements"

Wasnt Jerry DiPoto a Met?

Surgery could be part of the cure. It depends on the doctors and his condition. Maybe out 2 months??

So how far does Reyes fall in this weekend's drafts?

Compared to Reyes, this guy's Mr Clean !

BEWARE!!!

Not beware of his injury...beware that he's looking more and more like Vlad the Witch Doctor each year!!! Eyes sinking deeper into skull, and **** look...ignore the ball and he's got the Zombie walk down!

[/QUOTE]You are looking at this pessimistically. Now Shawn will have the chance to show you his brilliance on the waiver wire and managing a lineup. It's all part of the BIG picture.

If I heard correctly, on today’s spring training broadcast of the Mets they said Reyes would be out anywhere from 2-8 weeks. Those drafting week 1 will probably have no idea if it’s 2 or 8 or somewhere in-between. Week 2 people may have a better idea of what it will be. All of this effects when Reyes will be drafted.

Is it an advantage or disadvantage? Only time will tell.

BTW, as I am writing this the Mets just went back-to-back jacks to dead center field (410).

And there will be issues where I get someone later Week 1 than he would go in Week 2.

Ex: Another closer goes down after my draft and before Week 2. I draft the backup in Rd 26. Week 2 he goes in Rd 12.

Ex: Sean Rodriguez goes nuts (again) after the Week 1 draft and is named TB 2B. I get him in rd 23. You get him in Rd 10. This type of thing could apply to many young players competing for jobs.

I give the edge to drafting Week 2, but it could possibly turn out that Week 1 is better if there are many news announcements.
