Health: Wise, future of Smith, Sosa, Etc.

by Matthew Cerrone on May 7th, 2008 at 7:30 am

Matt Wise will likely pitch again today in a minor-league rehab start, meaning a) he will have finally pitched on back-to-back days, and b) will be one step closer to re-joining the Mets this weekend in New York.

Once Wise is promoted, a current pitcher from the team’s pitching staff will be displaced.

it does not appear the Mets will carry the extra pitcher, and play short on the bench, seeing as how they are seemingly always playing short on the bench to begin with…as such, the future’s of Joe Smith, Jorge Sosa and Nelson Figueroa all seem to be in question…for Matt Wise…matt who…exactly

…my bet is that the Mets drag their feet on this decision up to the absolute last minute…

…i have no idea how or what they’re going to dowhat i fear is that this team will cater towards contract issues, and not just put the best possible team on the field…and that’s so frustrating

Meanwhile, Pedro Martinez threw a side session in St. Lucie yesterday; Orlando Hernandez is still wearing a boot; and Ramon Castro remains on target for a possible weekend return.
