PELFREY: Will it ever happen for him?
Mike Pelfrey continues to tick me off. This time, it is hearing the news has been pitching with a high right ankle sprain during spring training. Pelfrey said he injured his ankle in the offseason and aggravated it the beginning of camp.
There are several ways to look at this, none of them good for the Mets:

Mets left-hander Garrett Olson was struck by a batted ball on his pitching hand during a Minor League game on Sunday. He suffered a contusion on the palm of his hand and was taken to a local hospital for precautionary X-rays, which were negative.
Olson was a strong contender to make the Mets as a reliever, and it’s not yet clear if this will pose any setback.

In his last start, also against the Cardinals, Santana threw 69 pitches, 48 of them for strikes in what was his best pitched game of the spring. His impressive performance prompted Collins to say this:

Matt den Dekker was called back to major league camp and is now getting a good look for an outfield spot. Captain Kirk better hope he fails because if den Dekker passes him on the depth chart he is going to be stuck.

Pretty cool if you ask me… I knew the Mets would do stuff like this this season. I’m sure for the 50th anniversary they will put a combination of Mets legends and current Mets like Ike Davis, David Wright, Johan Santana, and R.A. Dickey.

It’s getting hard to even keep up with the injuries at this point. But yet another Met goes down. Jason Bay was hit by a pitch from Strasburg, he’s lucky he still has an arm. As of now, we’re to believe Jason Bay just has a bruised forearm.
If the Mets were to lose Jason Bay, I don’t think anyone would even care at this point. It sucks that he came to NY and can’t hit anymore...

Cardinals, Mets play to 10-inning tie
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- Ike Davis and Lucas Duda each hit home runs as the New York Mets' tied the St. Louis Cardinals 6-6 in 10 innings Saturday.
It was the first homer for Davis, who was diagnosed earlier in spring training with what is likely valley fever, which can cause extreme fatigue. Davis hit a three-run shot off Lance Lynn in the first.

I didn’t realize Mike Pelfrey’s contract for this year is non guaranteed. It’s been brought up a few times in the past few days so even if the Mets supposedly aren’t thinking of releasing him…someone is thinking about it. There is no reason to bring it up if no one is thinking about it.
The problem I see here is that Big Pelf will go somewhere and dominate. Someone will...

Cardinals Broadcast Gets Lazy On Identifying Players (Photo)
 During a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets, the Cards' broadcast team failed to identify one of the team's prospects, and instead labeled him as "Minor League Guy."That "minor league guy" is Oscar Taveras, and he's not your average guy from the minors. In fact, he's one of the team's top prospects. And boy, this kid...
