Protect Wright and Reyes at all costs

With the New York Mets dropping like flies left and right, I think it's time to put David Wright and Jose Reyes on the pine.

The latest casualty on the Mets is 41-year-old Moises Alou, who will miss the start of the season due to a hernia operation. The only two starters who are not injured at this time are Wright and Reyes.

Omar Minaya
needs to have a padded room constructed in Port St. Lucie, and quick. Just get a trailer, coat the inside in bubble wrap, add a few cots and there you have it. An injury-free, protective cave for anyone you hold dear to make the Mets.

Put these two young studs in there, seal it up, and don't let them out until the season is ready to start. It's either that, or have them running around with full pads, a la a young child on rollerblades, complete with helmet, knee pads and hand protectors.

Oh, and while you're at it, toss Johan Santana in there too. And some food I guess.
