Health: Alou, Schneider and Castro
Moises Alou once again played in an extended spring training game in St. Lucie yesterday.
According to Willie Randolph, talking to reporters yesterday, whether or not Alou returns to the team this weekend – or next week – is up to the player at this point.
…i still believe they’ll say next week, then he’ll pull a surprise arrival over the weekend…but, that’s just speculation and a gut feeling, which i realize is not a popular way of making decisions among Mets fans these days…
Meanwhile, Brian Schneider was sent back to New York and hospitalized last night because of an infection in his left thumb.
…a thumb infection…how does that even happen…ugh…get well soon, brian…
Schneider will only be put on disabled list if the infection needs to be ‘lanced,’ Randolph explaining, since this would mean a much longer recovery time.
Lastly, Ramon Castro is still not 100 percent while recovering from a hamstring injury – if he was, explained Minaya, he’d be with the big-league team right now.
