Geez, every thread is yet another reason why the Mets need to acquire a corner OF.

Again fake Matt Cerrone saying UGH….. where have you been this news has been around for hours now considering he was pulled out around 1:30

Mets Prospecthub says its not serious and that it what just a cramp and that F-mart will be day to day

In the context of Met corner OF woes, I just read a short but sobering article about Toronto 2B Aaron Hill, who suffered a concussion while colliding with David Eckstein May 29, has not returned, and is expected to miss the season. The article mentioned Corey Koskie, who suffered a concussion in July ‘06 and has not played since, and also Mike Matheny, the catcher who had to retire due to concussion suffered from repeated foul balls off his mask. Godspeed Ryan Church.

jees, the injuries the Mets organization have endured this season can fill up a medical text book.

Breaking New: the bat boy is out for the season with splinter in left thumb.

It’s a cramp. Give him some Midol and everything will be okay in a few hours. Sheesh.

injury prone

Is Casey Blake the best option in a trade?

Bummer, there goes the bait.

You know, i put this on a thread last nite and only one person saw it, so i guess i’ll put it here…so people can blast me as usual.

If there’s even a WHISPER of Roy Halladay being available, i would IMMEDIATELY call Toronto and see what they want. If it was F-Mart, Niese, maybe future DH Carp, and even Heilman, i’d drive them all to the airport. He’s a true ace, under contract for TWO more years, and would fill a void left in our rotation for next year. Throwing out Johan, Roy, Maine, Big Pelf, and whoever for the next 2 years would be devastating Roy is a TRUE ace, would make our pitching by far the best in the NL, and has the ability to go 9 every time he takes the ball.
Heilman can be replaced by Eddie Kunz, who is having a great year in AA (3.09 ERA, 25 svs, 37 K in 43 innings).

Then, to answer our corner OF woes for this year, i’ve been reading that seattle will almost give anyone away as long as you tack on Jose Vidro and his terrible contract. On our team, he would be a good addition as a bench player. So then you can trade a couple of marginal prospects for Raul Ibanez and Vidro.
Adding those 2 guys would make us have to send down Robinson Cancel and Nick Evans…and adding Halladay, we’d have to either DFA Marlon (even though i do like him still, great PH just having a bad year) or DL someone.

I have no doubt those are all smart moves and would make us head and shoulders AT THE VERY LEAST, as GOOD as the cubs, if not better.

I dont think we’re mortgaging our future because we’ll have 4 young pitchers in our rotation for the next 2 years at least, and as for corner OF, next year, Ibanez, Dunn, Burrell are all FA, and Nady is a FA after 2009.
