Should be out "a couple of days".

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Crushing on Jenrry is no longer limited just to Amazin' Avenue. Marc Hulet of Fangraphs shares our appreciation.

The exact same article as harper's. All my replies stand.

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