OXON HILL, Md. -- Jose Reyes could be switching positions once again.A four-time All-Star shortstop, Reyes was moved to third base when he returned last summer to the New York Mets, who needed a fill-in for injured captain David Wright. Reyes figures to see action in the outfield during spring training next year.We didnt want to do it last year because we didnt want to have him working in multiple new positions, and I think that was something that he appreciated, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Monday at the winter meetings.Reyes was released by Colorado in late June after serving a domestic violence suspension, and he signed a few days later with the Mets, his original big league team. The 33-year-old hit .267 with eight homers, 24 RBI and nine stolen bases.With Wright due to return from neck surgery, the Mets want to increase Reyes versatility.I dont see any reason why we shouldnt try that, Alderson said. And I think its something, by the way, that were going to try to do throughout the organization, is put guys in different roles so that once they get to the big league level theyre at least familiar with if not proficient in playing more than one position.Recovering from surgery June 16 to repair a herniated disk in his neck, Wright is to resume baseball activities this month. He has been in California, working with a therapist associated with Dr. Robert Watkins, who operated.While Alderson expects Wright to be his starting third baseman, playing time will be monitored and the Mets have to be stocked with backups. Wright has appeared in just 75 regular-season games during the past two years because of spinal stenosis, neck surgery and a hamstring injury.We have to be careful not to be too thin at that position going into the spring, Alderson said.

BERLIN -- While Germany eased to its second win in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, England showed it has much to do to placate fans frustrated that their expectations are not being met.Germany comfortably defeated the Czech Republic 3-0 and might have won by more, earning plaudits from supporters who indulged in Mexican waves and created a carnival atmosphere in Hamburg.England could manage only a 2-0 win over lowly Malta, a side ranked 176th by FIFA, for an uninspired start following coach Sam Allardyces dismissal over comments in a newspaper sting that called his integrity into question.Elsewhere, Robert Lewandowski scored for the seventh straight qualifying game, this time hitting a hat trick for Poland to beat Denmark 3-2 in Warsaw.Heres a closer look at Saturdays qualifying games and their respective groups. Only the group winners automatically qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.GROUP CThomas Mueller scored twice for the second game running as Germany produced a polished performance to see off the Czech Republic.Mueller, who scored twice in the opening 3-0 win in Norway, is yet to score in six Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich this season, but he opened the scoring early and completed it in the second half after Toni Kroos doubled the lead.Germany had almost three-quarters of the possession in the first half, seemingly almost all of it in the Czechs half, while 93 percent passing accuracy was an indication of the home sides dominance.The only quibble coach Joachim Loew could have had was that his side did not add to its goal tally despite the glut of chances before the break.Loew previously suggested the Czech Republic, which drew with Northern Ireland 0-0 in its opening group game, was Germanys toughest group opponent, but on this display it seems the World Cup champion will have little trouble in qualifying.Elsewhere, Northern Ireland defeated San Marino 4-0 in Belfast, and Maksim Medvedevs early goal was enough for Azerbaijan to beat Norway 1-0 in Baku, giving the team two wins in a World Cup group for the first time.ddddddddddddGROUP FGareth Southgate enjoyed a straightforward but unchallenging introduction to international management as a second new England era in a month opened with the victory over Malta.Daniel Sturridges header from Jordan Hendersons cross, and Dele Allis strike in the first half sealed it, but England lacked dynamism and urgency up front, especially in the second half.Regardless, this performance is unlikely to be a factor when the Football Association decides whether to entrust Southgate with the job as Allardyces permanent successor.Southgate was rapidly promoted from the under-21s last week after Allardyce was dismissed, his tenure lasting only 67 days.Scotland substitute James McArthur scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw with Lithuania in Glasgow, while another substitute, Rok Kronaveter earned Slovenia a 1-0 win at home over Slovakia.GROUP ELewandowski again met high expectations by scoring for the seventh consecutive qualifier with his third hat trick of the season to beat Denmark.He netted a cross by Kamil Grosicki in the 20th minute, and converted a penalty 16 minutes later. The hat trick was completed two minutes into the second half of a matchup between the two leading contenders to advance from Group E.An own goal by Kamil Glik gave Denmark its first goal, two minutes after Lewandowskis third, and substitute Yussuf Poulsen added the second in the 69th.Poland, chasing its first World Cup finals since 2006, is tied atop the group with Romania, which routed Armenia 5-0 away, and Montenegro, which grabbed its first win in qualifying with a 5-0 win over Kazakhstan in Podgorica. Denmark trails by a point. ' ' '
