R.A. Dickey has abdominal surgery

Posted October 18, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: RA Dickey,  Sandy Alderson
TEAMS: New York Mets
Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey has had abdominal surgery and is expected to be ready for spring training. The team says Dr. William Meyers performed the operation Thursday morning in Philadelphia to repair a core muscle injury. A leading contender for the NL Cy Young Award, Dickey was 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA this season. The 37-year-old knuckleballer led the National League in strikeouts (230), innings (233 2-3), shutouts (three) and complete games (five). After his final outing of the season, Dickey revealed that he had pitched with a strained muscle on his right side since mid-April. New York holds a $5.25 million option on Dickey's contract for 2013 with a $300,000 buyout. General manager Sandy Alderson has said the Mets would like to sign the right-hander to a multiyear deal.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis: What role does he have in 2013?

Via Mets360.com  |  October 19, 2012
The Mets need outfield help. You, I and the family pet all know this much. It’s so obviously evident, that the Mets should post a Craigslist ad asking for outfield help! One current Mets’ outfielder who stands a decent chance of cracking the starting rotation is Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Scott Hairston and Andres Torres are likely gone (especially Torres), as they are soon to be free...

Yesterday, the Mets announced that they have removed catcher Rob Johnson from the 40-man roster and that he is now a free agent. Johnson was actually eligible for arbitration with the Mets, but now that becomes a moot point. He appeared in 17 games for the Mets in 2012 and hit .250 with four RBI in 52 at-bats. Today, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports that outfielder Fred Lewis...

Is Matt Harvey A Cy Young Contender In 2013?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  October 19, 2012
Our own Craig Lerner came up with several bold predictions of his own last week, so I thought I would throw my own into the mix. We saw the triumphant debut of the Mets 2010 1st-round draft pick Matt Harvey, providing one of very few bright spots in an otherwise dreary second half of the 2012 season. He came up and looked like the pitcher we have been told about, and in many cases...

Dickey, both are coming up on option years, so all the talk has been centered on them agreeing to contract extensions before making any other moves. But there’s another potential extension that may be discussed this offseason: an extension for manager Terry...

An Offseason Agenda for the New York Mets

Signing David Wright to a long-term deal should be priority No. 1 for the New York Mets this offseason. Coming off a season that began with such promise but ultimately ended in a disappointing 74-88 finish, New York Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson enters a critical offseason for his regime. When he took the reigns almost two full calendar years ago, the Mets were in the midst...

Grady Sizemore: A Risk The Mets Have To Take?

This is not breaking news – the Mets are in need of a lead off hitter and outfielders as we move towards the 2013 season. Some people may be ready to close the door on Grady Sizemore’s career, but there is still value there. We are still talking about a player that was on his way to super stardom before some injuries side tracked his career. After missing the entire 2012 season...
