Different coaches and medical yet same injury issues so far. Swarzak, Cespedes join the other 10 guys w injuries.
And pitching looks like it has A LOT of work to do already. This zen master Callaway is either going to back his talk w an epic career or become a complete joke in 2 years.
For one more day!
Ia Tiring excuse us Mets fan have thrown around the past decade or 3.
Add degrom to the booboo list.
Every. Single. Team. Has them.
It’s just February, as mentioned before. Tomorrow you can still say, it’s just March.
Don’t worry about the pitching.

Strained quads, strained hamstrings, sprained ankle, plantar fasciitis...
These are just aches and pains? Don’t think so.
Lower back soreness in a pitcher is concerning. Cespedes shoulder could just be soreness but the dude is ALWAYS injured so who the hell knows.
The point is that I doubt every team is dealing with this many injuries a week into spring training. It’s just more of the same with the Mets. We can’t have nice things.
Im concerned cause im a Mets fan and we have seen this story before, but these injuries do just seem like early camp aches. Lagares is running at 90% they said. DeGrom seems close to getting on the mound, Swarzak says he is fine (who knows i guess), and Bruce returned yesterday.
Why do we need to hear every time a player has a tummyache or a pinched genital? Keep that shit in house.
Lagares is ALWAYS hurt. One thing not getting enough coverage is relying on all of Lagares/Nimmo/Cespedes/Conforto given the lack of AA/AAA OF depth.

I said this all offseason and it’s one of the major reasons I’m happy we signed Bruce. There’s a huge contingent on MMO pissed because Nimmo won’t start. Yeah right! Lol

Not only is Lagares always hurt but his style of play is conducive to this always being the case. I'm not particularly concerned with Conforto (once he is 100%) but the others are legit "injury"??. Bruce was a necessary (if not someone similar) add otherwise we'd be in deep trouble. Zach Borenstein and MDD = trash
He’s actually a perfect AAA signing. Think I mentioned him the other day actually. Ton of warts (which is why he’s a career minor leaguer), but at least he’s got some positives.
And Cespedes missed half of last year and about 30 games in 2016 while deGrom also missed a chunk in 2016.
So, if this is the "same old" for each guy, that's not necessarily a good thing.
Side note - I know he's dealt with some lat/other issues, but Jake's FIP is going the wrong way...
2014: 2.67
2015: 2.70
2016: 3.32
2017: 3.50
My top 5/key guys are Thor/deGrom/Conforto/Cespedes/Familia.
We are already down Conforto to start. Adding DeGrom to the list would be tough. Hopefully, it’s minor and he’s fine.

As your #1 AAA option in the OF= awful. 126 k's over 384 ab's last year... 7 homers... yikes.
His marriage to his smoking hot wife?? I’m actually very high on Nimmo but I still think all 4 OF (Lagares should be 5th) end up getting about equal time due to injuries/rest.

Don’t worry about the pitching.
But yet no other team has this list of starting players already hurt. That is what baffles me. It can’t be the NY pressure and media hype bc the Yankees aren’t having this problem. Unless the media is harping on this point bc its An obvious topic that gets met fans fired up, then its at least an alarm to an already shaky roster.
Well that's my point. You may have 2-3 weeks where you need another OF. MDD sucks, you don't want it to be him.

So I’m holding back any optimism. But Nimmo has been the most impressive all spring. Somethings different.
I also think Nimmo is a key but am wary of his injury past.
Heck 3/4 of this team has a history of significant time missed with injuries

Add Harvey. I have a sneaky suspicion he’s going to look much better today.

Slow down on Borenstein buddy!!!!!

Am I reading his stats wrong? Milb.com says he had 24 HR and an OPS over .900.

7 homers was in 2016. OPS over .900... IN THE PCL with a 30% k-rate, that's a bad player.
I wonder if Mets would've kept him to compete with Smith rather than AGonz if they knew he would've ended up signing so cheaply.
Can’t wait to see the pain in Dan as he is forced to like Borenstein as the season moves along lol
He isn’t a major leaguer, but a perfect AAA signing. Dans comments or not.
Duda at $4M to be a bench player or insurance for Smith would be a good price IMO. Hopefully aGonz can at least be servicable for us.

Not sure how I missed this. But great points.
Imagine the Mets brought in a QB to spring training.
Had a new inexperienced manager after firing last years.
Their top prospect was hurt after TJS
Another top prospect just got Jason Bay’d.
And who knows who else is dinged taking a day or two here and there?
Can’t imagine how the media would react to that....
Their superstar HOPES to be healthy by opening day from offseason surgery.
1. Amed Rosario (R) SS
2. Brandon Nimmo (L) CF
3. Jose Lobaton (S) C
4. Patrick Mazeika (L) DH
5. Peter Alonso (R) 1B
6. Zach Borenstein (L) RF
7. Gavin Cecchini (R) 2B
8. David Thompson (R) 3B
9. Matthew den Dekker (L) LF
Boooooo. Wanted to see Harvey.
Not televised anywhere. :(
Hop in the car and enjoy a game!!!
If he doesn’t get hurt....
Streaky player that drove me crazy at times but a good team guy.
