This is a pretty solid move.  Rickey Henderson is the greatest lead off hitter ever.  If he can turn Jose Reyes into a “true” leadoff hitter, i.e. a player who draws more then 27 walks in a season, it would be a huge boost to the team.

It’ll also give the Mets a chance to see what Henderson can still do.  He keeps himself in phenomonal shape and I could see him filling in as a fifth outfielder/pinch hitter for the team.  Plus it’d be cool to see both he and Julio Franco on the field at the same time.
