Twitter Poll: How many games until Jeremy Reed gets a start?

The Mets landed Jeremy Reed as one of the players sent over in the three-team, 12-player deal with the Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners.  For the season so far, the most time Reed has seen in a game is as a late inning defensive replacement.

Even Endy Chavez, the player Reed replaced in both a roster spot and ability, got starts now and then.

Last night, I asked my Twitter followers to guess how many games it would take Reed to get a start.  Here are their responses…

The hopefuls…

Retire31 said: 0. He starts tomorrow.

fscker said: 0

The majority…

NYMetsGrrl94 said: 4 games

metsjetsgirl said: either 5 or 18-19.

metgirl4ever said: Reed will be in the game...15 games from now...

dailystache said: I will go with 12 games until he gets a start...no rationale

gwong said: Jeremy Reed starts 8 games from today on 5/13. Day game after a night game on getaway day - perfect time to start him.

DaCurryman said: I'd go with appx. 15 more games.

fullnelson said: 7 games until Jeremy Reed gets a start

mets_geekette said: 18. It's my favorite random number. Oh, and R is the 18th letter of the alphabet.

MetsNY81 said: 31. I took a quick look at the Mets schedule, they’re on the road against the Nats then. Perfect time to give Reed a start!

gmo418 said: 12

darknova306 said: Reed will start 14 games from now. That's more a guess than anything.

The pessimists…

mostlymets said: 137 (number of games left in the season)

brentsower said: 137. Right now, he's too busy teaching everyone except Beltran and Church how to catch fly balls.

I think Reed should get a start soon.  I find myself in the somewhere in the majority.  A dozen games before he gets a start.

Heck, he has a triple this year and only 11 ABs.
