I’m Reading: about Injuries, Investors and Francy
Sean Engelhardt created a graphical chart, here, of every Mets injury from this season and for how long the player was out.
According to the Herald Star, Clark ‘Herb’ Francy loves New York, and it loves him right back.
Oliver Perez and Johan Santana had successful surgery yesterday.
To learn more about their injuries, and recoveries, check out Will Carroll’s latest Under the Knife column for Baseball Prospectus.
Also at Baseball Prospectus, prospect-guru Kevin Goldstein discusses Mets minor leaguers Jeurys Familia and Reese Havens, as well as Josh Thole, of whom he says, “It’s hard to figure out what he is down the road, other than a big leaguer.”
David Lennon of Newsday recaps author Erin Arvedlund’s recent appearance on WFAN, during which she seemed to soften her opinion that Fred Wilpon will be forced to sell the Mets in 2010, now saying the family may simply need to take on additional investors.
Speaking of WFAN, Mets manager Jerry Manuel will be a guest of Evan Roberts and Joe Benigno on air today at 5 pm.
