Recap: Manuel On WFAN

by Mike Nichols on August 20th, 2008 at 5:22 pm

Mets manager Jerry Manuel recently made his weekly appearance on the WFAN.

In case you missed it, here is a quick recap of Manuel’s appearance:

  • Manuel said Ryan Church may join the team this weekend if he continues to progress with his minor-league rehab.
  • Luis Castillo will need to perform in order to play every day, as Manuel likes Damion Easley and Argenis Reyes at second base.
  • He said he is concerned about Mike Pelfrey‘s innings pitched and will continue to watch him closely.
  • Manuel stated there is no clear-cut choice for a closer and is hoping someone, like Aaron Heilman steps up and takes the roll.
  • He is not considering moving a starting pitcher into the bullpen.
  • Is expecting Carlos Beltran goes on one of his “big runs” down the stretch.
