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...

Murphy In Batting Cage, Mejia Was Examined For A Thyroid Issue
Updated by John Delcos at 10:00 AM
Players hit in the cages this morning as it rained here. The weather here has been awful; rainy and chilly. Nothing sun drenched about PSL these days.

Jenrry Mejia Has An “Undisclosed Medical Issue”
2:25 PM
Greetings from Port St. Lucie, where the Mets have the afternoon off. However, just because they are down for the day, it doesn’t mean there isn’t anything happening.
They wouldn’t be the Mets if there weren’t injury news. Jenrry Mejia returned to New York this morning to have an undisclosed medical condition checked out. As with Pedro Feliciano before him, his reporting...

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...
Jenrry Mejia, Jeurys Familia, And The Reality Of How Baseball Works
It wasn’t too long ago that when the subject of top Mets pitching prospects came up, the first two names that jumped to mind were righthanders Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia. As a matter of fact, going into the 2011 season, both were still ranked as the two best pitching prospects in the Mets system.
Anthony DiComo wrote a little about that this morning on Mets.com and it reminded...
Mejia Makes First Start, Tejada Out, Byrd’s The Word
Jenrry Mejia gets the ball this afternoon against Miami. As of now, Mejia will be used as a starter, but there are those in the organization who believe he’s better suited for the bullpen.
Mejia prefers to start and has performed better in that role. Maybe it is because he has time to prepare for his assignment, maybe because he has more time to warm up, maybe it is an ego thing...

Mets Minors: Wheeler Is Dealing, Hampson Is Back, Mejia Is Really Mejia
According to Carson Cistulli of Fangraphs, based on 2013 ZiPS projections, Mets top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler has the best projection of any pitcher expected to make his debut this season.

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...
Mejia Will Be First Choice To Replace Dickey If He Gets Traded
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, If the Mets trade R.A. Dickey, they intend to fill his spot in the rotation with Jenrry Mejia.
One Mets official reiterated Wednesday that there was virtually no way Zack Wheeler would break camp with the team. For one thing, if Wheeler does not spend the first three weeks of the season in the minors, he would be eligible for free agency...
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...

Jenrry Mejia, despite a high pitch count, contributed five scoreless innings to notch his first major league win. After opening the second half 4-24 at Citi Field, the Mets have now won four straight at...
Jenrry Mejia takes step forward in second start
If you were to build a pitcher from scratch, you would give him a high strikeout rate and make him a hurler who did not allow many walks or home runs. One of the best ways to limit homers is to be a ground ball pitcher. It’s certainly not the only way – Chris Young is an extreme fly ball pitcher but manages to keep his HR in check partly by inducing lots of infield pop-ups...
