Read: Delgado Injury First Problem for Mets
In his blog for ESPN.com, Buster Olney writes that while the Mets are saying the hip injury to Carlos Delgado is not serious, they need to add someone who could play first base on a regular basis – if necessary.
Olney lists some of the possible candidates as:
- Nick Johnson, Nationals
- Scott Hatteberg, Reds
- Richie Sexson, Mariners
- Tony Clark, Padres
- Kevin Millar, Orioles
…many readers have been emailing the site asking who will be the back-up first baseman…and as you have already heard, it could be either Marlon Anderson or Damion Easley filling that role…although i was fine with the idea originally, thinking that delgado will have a bounce back year, i am know skeptical of the original plan…who knows, maybe Michel Abreu will have a really good spring and fill that void…
