Health: Schneider, Valentin, Gotay, Etc.
Brian Schneider was hitless in two at bats on Saturday against the Indians.
…the news here is not that he was hitless, it’s that he started in a game for the first time since March 10…welcome back, brian…
…from what i can gather, the team is fairly confident that schneider will be more than ready for opening day…which is what i anticipated all along…
In an effort to avoid retirement, Jose Valentin will get a cortisone shot today to help relieve the pain in his neck.
During yesterday’s game, Ruben Gotay was 0 for 1, and made an error in the field.
…the Mets like gotay’s bat, but continue to be concerned about his fielding, as they should be…the problem is that he’s out of options, but also not 100 percent healthy…
…hopefully, the Mets can find a creative way to keep gotay back at camp for opening day without exposing him to waivers…
Lastly, over the weekend, Moises Alou, Jason Vargas and Ambiorix Burgos were placed on the 15–day disabled list retroactive to March 21.
