Jenrry Mejia on the mend, but is he part of the solution?
The Mets obviously have a lot of problems—pick your favorite.
You can pick from the struggles of Ike Davis, Lucas Duda, Ruben Tejada, the whole mess of an outfield, the bullpen, etc.
And of course, you can look at the rotation (sans Matt Harvey) for a lion’s share of the blame. I don’t need to rehash the struggles of the back-end of the staff.
That being said, the Mets are...

Should the Mets go “Back to the Future” with Jenrry Mejia’s role?
Last week Mets fans saw something scary: Jenrry Mejia made his first spring-training appearance. The outing was less than ideal. In only one inning of work, Mejia gave up five runs total — four of them coming from a grand slam by Casey Kotchman. Mejia’s performance has come as a bit of a shock. The Dominican right-hander has been on the radar for a while as a Mets top prospect...
Mejia Hasn’t Exhausted All His Options, Could Start Season In Minors
This from Adam Rubin of ESPN New York:
Jenrry Mejia has a fourth option the Mets can use in 2013. So the right-hander does not necessarily have to make the major league ballclub out of spring training.
Assuming the Mets sign a veteran starting pitcher to round out the rotation, Mejia logically would compete for a bullpen spot. But, like with Jeurys Familia, Mejia can be sent to...
Jenrry Mejia: The Mets’ forgotten ace
When people talk about the future of the Mets’ rotation, they always talk about Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler, as well they should. If he isn’t included in a trade, Jonathon Niese will be there, too. I’ve heard some mention Dillon Gee and while I’m still a bit skeptical about that one, after the half season he had in 2012, I won’t dismiss the possibility. Minor league...
People not named Jenrry Mejia: The future of the Mets’ pen
If you ask me, the worst thing the Mets could have done this year… would have been to thrust Matt Harvey into the big-league team from the start of the season. They didn’t, but could you imagine what that might have done to Matt Harvey’s career prospects? Actually, we all can. Because the Mets were good enough to give us an example… his name is Jenrry Mejia.
The...
Why Are The Mets Rushing Mejia Back?
Don’t rush Harvey! Don’t rush Wheeler! That’s all we keep hearing from EVERYONE. But what about the guy who was close to the top of everyone’s list last year as far as Mets prospects go? Jenrry Mejia.
Jenrry Mejia underwent Tommy John surgery 12 months ago and has been rehabbing in the minor leagues so far this season. His numbers have looked pretty good overall...
