Jose Reyes: Surgery?

This shouldn't even come as a surprise to anyone but Jose Reyes may need surgery to repair the hamstring tendon behind his right knee that has kept him off the field since May. What I'm wondering is what took so long to come to this realization. At first, Reyes was day to day... Even came back into the lineup only to re-injure himself. Now... all we have seen of Reyes has been him trying to run before games and smiling and joking with fans while in the dugout during games. By the way... Anyone who criticizes him about that is a moron. I've heard people asking why is he smiling and joking when he's injured. What do you want him to do? Be in a perpetual state of depression? That's not his personality. His injury has nothing to do with him interacting with the fans. If he could have been playing, he would have been playing. But I digress. He has been receiving therapy for who knows how long. How long does it take to figure out that this course of treatment is not working? The season is shot. No one who is injured is coming back this year, especially with the team's current situation. So let's just go in... Cut cut, snip snip... Let's fix what's wrong with this guy and have him ready for next year. But the question begs... Will Reyes, ever be the same?? Remember, he had leg issues early in his career. So much so, that the Mets tried to change his running style. I wonder if any of the injured Mets... Carlos Beltran, John Maine, Oliver Perez, Jon Niese, etc, etc... Will any of them ever be the same? You can ponder this while the Yankees shoot for their 27th championship.
