11 Players Moved By Mets Yesterday
The Mets had a busy and curious day yesterday as far as transactions go. Here’s a list of what they did yesterday: Recalled Fernando Martinez from AAA Buffalo Sent John Maine to minors for a rehab assignment Designated Connor Robertson for assignment Released Bobby Kielty Designated Wilson Valdez for assignment Released Wily Mo Pena Released […]
Reyes Tries New Procedure To Heal Ailing Hamstring
Jose Reyes will undergo an unusual treatment for his torn hamstring called Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP). The process involves blood being taken from him and spun in a centrifuge to pull out the platelets. The platelets are then injected at the site of the injury. The procedure is said to help regenerate tendons and […]
Injury Report: Putz and Reyes
As reported after yesterday’s game J.J. Putz will be seeing a doctor in new York today. He said his elbow “hurt like hell” and acknowledged he hasn’t been comfortable when throwing his split-finger fastball after that. This discomfort has resulted in his recent ineffectiveness. Apparently this has been going on since the Mets trip to […]
Good News and Bad News
Yesterday was a real good news, bad news type of day for the Mets. Good – Last night’s game was rained out giving the Mets an extra day to regroup from two truly bad losses. Bad – Since this was scheduled to be the Mets only trip to Pittsburgh this year they will have to […]
Reyes, Church DLed; FMart Promoted

Especially in light of Ryan Church‘s hamstring strain which kept him out […]
Reyes Not Going On DL But Should

A Really Bad Day And Night For The Mets
One of the things I hate about the Mets playing on the west coast is that the games start too late for me to watch any appreciable amount of the game. From what I’ve read about last night’s game there wasn’t very much for Mets fans to appreciate. Let me count the ways: The Mets […]
About Stolen Bases, Reyes, Leadership
A couple of years ago I read Dayn Perry’s Winners: How Good Baseball Teams Become Great Ones (And It’s Not the Way You Think) (Kindle version here). It’s an excellent book that breaks down different areas of statistical performance and tries to correlate which ones winning teams excel at. One of the things Perry discusses […]
