Prior to yesterday’s 6-5 win over the Marlins, Jerry Manuel told reporters that Carlos Delgado has left the team and has gone home to Puerto Rico.
…that is disappointing to me…i am a believer that if the player is not on a rehab assignment, he should be with his team in the dugout during games…i know there are always personal reasons as to why players do certain things but i still believe he should be there…
Meanwhile, Jose Reyes will attempt to run on Saturday, but Manuel believes that it is a long shot that he will see any action in the final week of the season.,

I think Delgado is all but off the team.
At this point I would not be opposed to bringing him back for 1 year, because while I am not comfortable with handing Murphy the full-time job, I am comfortable with him as the primary backup and a guy who can jump in if Delgado goes down. If not Delgado, I’d like to see a similar set up. Is Jim Thome officially a no-go defensively? Does anyone think with a full spring he could play the position? Haven’t heard his name come up, but for a 1-year stop gap, with Murph behind him and Davis coming, could be interesting.
Bringing Delgado back with cost at least $5M. I’d rather they spend the money elsewhere, especially if it’s going to be a tight offseason as predicted.
I would not bring Delgado back under any circumstance.
As for Reyes, why even let him try and run the last week of the season…..why even chance reaggrivating it?
Mind Boggling.
Mr Delgado is old and oft injured.
His attitude? I believe walking away from your team and going home, says it all.
5 Million?
Insanity!
My grandma has a bad hip.
I don’t want a fat firstbaseman with the same.
Put that in your notebook, Mr “I don’t stand up for God Bless America”, because I’d be just as rich without this country! (not!)
Bye!
We still have three games left at home. Did he clear his locker? I think Eddie is right: walking away from your team and going home, says it all.
The rest of Eddie’s post seemed personal, so I will distance myself from that part of it.
Delgado will sign with the Yankees, be there DH and hit 75 HRs.
Yeah I agree, what is this? Just leaving the team, suck it up and stick it out with your team. I would assume this means he won’t be asked back for 2010 which is pretty much okay with me. If he wants to play next year it should be at DH, i’m sure some AL would sign him but maybe this team will be better off without his attitude
This sounds selfish and immature…but we don’t know all the reasons. It’s probably become clear to him that he will not be back in a Mets uniform next year.
That said, the further Delgado gets from the Mets clubhouse the better. He wielded too muc influence in the clubhouse and the torch needs to be passed…
If Delgado doesn’t wants to go home and leave his teammates, he should not be part of this team next year.
