Bay to Undergo an Emergency Operation

March 28, 2012
The Mets are flying Jason Bay to New York to undergo an emergency operation at the Hospital for Special Surgeries. Ever since Jason signed with the Mets 2 seasons ago, everyone has wondered, "What’s wrong with this guy?" The All Star-turned-albatross has mystified baseball experts and fans alike with his hideous decline in production. No one questions his work ethic or...

The Mets have informed 41-year-old right-hander Miguel Batista that he has made the Opening Day roster, all but finalizing the bullpen. Batista, who is scheduled to start Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, will serve as a long reliever and spot starter.
"He keeps himself in terrific shape," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He knows what...

If you trust Adam Rubin of ESPN New York and his sources, then the Mets Opening Day roster picture is quickly coming into focus. Rubin says that as long as Byrdak doesn’t somehow recover from knee surgery in time to make the roster, the Mets will start out with Daniel Herrera as the lefty specialist in the bullpen. Although it has been reported before that Herrera was not an option...

According to Andy Martino of the NY Daily News, In a recent meeting that included the Mets’ executives and coaches, members of the front office suggested releasing Mike Pelfrey before Opening Day, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation. None of the uniformed staff was in favor of the idea, and it was downplayed.
Pelfrey further solidified his place in...

Johan Santana will pitch simulated game on Saturday instead of real game

March 28, 2012
Johan Santana's exhibition season is over.
It is not a setback, nor a concern. The Mets simply see no reason for Santana to risk injury in a Grapefruit League or even a Minor League game, given how healthy he has been all spring.
Rather than appear in a game, Santana will throw approximately 40 pitches Saturday in a simulated setting. Miguel Batista will start against the...

Adam Rubin reported yesterday that Daniel Herrera is most likely going to be given a spot in the bullpen for Opening Day. Tim Byrdak is recovering from knee surgery, but he’s expected only to miss a couple games. To this point in Spring Training, Herrera has thrown 6.1 innings, posting a 1.42 ERA with two walks and one strikeout. So when Byrdak comes back, the Mets are going...

As we all know, David Wright’s contract technically ends this year (However, there is a option for 2013). Speaking of Wright’s contract, Mike Puma of the New York Post spoke with Nationals 3rd Basemen Ryan Zimmerman about Wright’s contract with the Mets. Zimmerman told Puma that the Mets should resign David Wright.

Throughout spring training, I have heard interviews and read many articles about Jason Bay and his approach to hitting. Every Mets fan, let alone baseball fan knows of Bay's woes. For someone who was a solid power hitter before joining the Mets, with the Mets he has been more of a power outage.This spring Bay is trying to simplify his approach, and get back to his hitting basics...

Delcos: Pelfrey arguably most important Met.

Yes, I know it was only one game after so many bad ones, but it was encouraging to watch Mike Pelfrey last night against Houston. One run on three hits in 6.1 innings. I’ll take that every time.
PELFREY: Tired of seeing this perplexed look.
By his own admission, Pelfrey said this could be a make-or-break season for him. If he has another one like last year, he could see the Mets...

Either today or tomorrow the Mets are extremely likely, according to sources, to announce the 2012 minor league rosters for each of the long-season teams. Competition has been ferocious for all four teams, particularly for the most coveted prizes, a spot on one of the pitching staffs for each of the long-season clubs. Over-crowding, combined with ho-hum performances necessitated...

Add Terry Collins to the list of people close to the game who are coming up with a somewhat unanimous opinion about New York Mets rightfielder Lucas Duda. The 26-year-old hit his 4th homer Grapefruit League homer against the Braves yesterday and has put together quite an impressive Spring.

Although he spent just one season with the team, 1967, Tommy Davis was a principal in 2 of the biggest trades the Mets made in their formative years, the one that brought him to the Mets and the one that sent him away.
Prior to the ’67 season, the Mets sent two of their top players, Ron Hunt, the first genuine Mets all-star and arguably their most popular player and the talented...

Every team has to have a number of components in order to brew a culture of winning and unity that is found in most legitimate contenders. The token ace, power bat, golden glove, and bullpen leader are a given, but just because you follow the directions of a paint by numbers doesn’t mean it will be a masterpiece. Realistically there are more cogs in the machine than we could...

Watching Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals reminded me of what's going to ultimately take this team down. It isn't going to be like past years where the starting pitching got us bludgeoned to death (the rotation will be fine outside of Pelfrey's fifth start), or the lack of hitting asphyxiated us (and I gotta say that Lucas Duda is growing on me). Nope, this defense...
