Go get Matt Herges; DFA'd by Cleveland

If you are hesitant to make a trade, rummage the scrap heap to subsidize the roster. This would be a nice pickup for us.

Insert him where you were going to put Tim Redding and DFA him. We already have two long men who are pitching a heck of a lot better and this could keep Feliciano's arm from falling off.

Johan Santana: Master of Tomfoolery

Very good article about Johan's fastball-change domination.

Zach Lutz Heating Up?

After hitting his fifth homer of the year last night for St. Lucie, Lutz extended his hitting streak to 11 games today by going 2 for 3 with two walks, a stretch in which he's also walked six times and struck out just four times. He's hitting .270 / .382 / .418 on the season. He just turned 23, and injuries stalled his early professional career, but there may yet be some untapped prospect potential here, especially if he can ever find his power stroke.

Thole, Mejia Updates from Oliveras

Though both players had recently been shut down, the news is good on both fronts. Thole is only expected to miss a couple weeks after dislocating his thumb on his catching hand, and Mejia is simply being slowed down for the sake of innings management (he's already just about matched his total from last year).

I'm still waiting to find something official on Reese Havens, who was removed from last nights game after injuring his hand/wrist on a HBP. Keep your eyes peeled on that front.

Matt and Ted's Excellent Adventure

I'm not saying anything...the things I would love to say...but I'll just not.

Project Prospect Updated Top 50

Can anyone remember the last time the Mets had three guys show up on a Top 50 prospects list? This one is a bit of a unique take, the method is identifying guys with high floors, so that's why Niese gets such a high ranking. But, you know, the Mets system obviously has nothing in the upper levels.

Josh Thole Drop of Sunshine

"Great approach, great makeup, I could see him lasting in the big leagues for a long time... almost a Darrin Fletcher, part two."

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
