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.
I hear that denial is a really good coping mechanism.
Thanks for dealing with all of us snarky posters! I always appreciate your insight, even if it's a different perspective sometimes than mine.
DeGrom threw 30 pitches and two innings in a simulated game. So far, it looks like he's ok but might miss a start or even just slot 5th or so in the rotation out of camp if no setback from here on out.
Even with a clean MRI, just shut Rosario down for 10-14 days please.
I think most of us are just in "prove it" mode at this point. It's hard to assume the best or think everything will be alright when it's the Mets.
LOL, I am going to keep opposing it, but at the same time, we need someone to hold that candle, so - don't stop!
Quote:
they'd need someone who can play the position on the bench at a minimum, even if they start Reyes. Still a few weeks so I'd imagine he won't need the DL, but also no real rush.
Cecchini absolutely no way he's considered an option to replace Rosario.
Probably not as SS but he should be in the mix for his roster spot. If they'd rather carry Cecchini than Guillorme, Cabrera or Reyes slides to SS and Cecchini becomes an option at 2b. Guillorme's glove should no doubt have him in the mix since that's probably ready to help at either spot but realistically he hasn't even played in AAA yet.
Its a long season and we cannot afford to have him playing injured
10 of a tee. 25 underhanded toss. 15 regular BP. Keep on working Mike!

That is great to hear. Getting him healthy is such a key to this season.
Won't ever get tired of watching him hit bombs.

Nimmo got robbed twice.
Robles is still Robles.
Us old-timers knew he was tempting the injury gods, and they hate the Mets and Mets fans.
Maybe we should sacrifice Shecky as a gift to the gods.

They'd send him back. ;-)
Youll all thank me when Phil Evans is our opening day SS because I jinxed Rosario..

BREAKING: @Mets manager Mickey Callaway told the media that the MRI on @Amed_Rosario came back "totally clean" & showed NO structural damage whatsoever.
they can turn a hangnail into TJS.
but I trust MRI's, x-rays, Dr. James Andrews, Dr. David Atlcheck and others.
kind of takes the guesswork out of it.
Thor will unanimously win the Cy Young this year

Big Pelf and his licking has retired
Rosario, who is dealing with a groin issue, said Wednesday that he expects to return to the lineup later this week.
The 22-year-old Rosario, who hasn't played since this past Saturday due to what was initially irritation in his left knee, said the knee feels better but that compensating for it might have led to the minor groin issue.
Anthony Swarzak (strained left calf):
Swarzak began a throwing progression last Friday, threw a modified bullpen session on Monday morning, and is continuing his throwing progression.
He left last Tuesday's game against the Astros in the top of the third inning due to the injury, which he suffered while running to cover first base.
Dominic Smith (strained right quad):
Smith continued to hit on Tuesday, facing Jacob deGrom during his simulated game. He has been hitting and doing drills since last week.
Michael Conforto (recovery from shoulder surgery):
Conforto took batting practice Tuesday for the first time since his surgery. He has been working his way back, with an expected return date of roughly May 1.
"There's the May 1st date, and that kind of gives me an idea," he said last month. "As a competitor, it's tough for me not to look at that date and want to get out there before that."

That was an impressive first inning by Wheeler with two strikeouts. Throwing 94-97 and broke off a nasty slider
He's too afraid to throw strikes.
Nibble, nibble, nibble.
He pitches like he's afraid to throw the ball anywhere in the meat of the zone because it'll just get laced. So he tries to hit the corners and nibbles (and often misses), falls behind hitters routinely and then gets himself into counts where he HAS to throw a strike and guys are just teeing off.
I thought Montero had the highest floor of some of these pitchers a few years ago. He seemed like a guy who would be a mid-rotation fixture for a long time because he seemed to have such good control when he was first making his way through the system.
That control seems to be gone and none of his stuff seems to be fooling or overpowering anyone.
Just not a very good pitcher right now and he's out of options so I'm not really sure what the plan is for him - but right now, it looks like if he's going to keep his roster spot, he's going to be limited to mop-up duty out of the pen.
Can't pitch that guy in any high-leverage situation and he has done nothing to warrant a spot in the rotation, either.
Or no injury news to bitch about today ;)

Not televised :(
Unless MLBN has it - SNY only has our home ST games though.
Annoying. I'd really like to see him throw.

I'll be excited when they make it out of Spring training with Thor and deGrom healthy in the rotation and Rosario still having both legs.
sorry, I just can't get excited about spring training games, though I hope the Mets all do well.
Also what the heck are we going to do for 1st base
Plan B is Smith, who has had issues all camp. First the lateness then the injury. Don't think he's had a chance to show much.
Once the season starts if neither of those 2 can hack it, Flores is probably next in line at least for a time.
If none of the above are performing by the time Conforto comes back, then I suppose Bruce becomes an option. Especially if Nimmor or Lagares is playing well. Bruce could even be an option before then if both Nimmo/Lagares are playing well.
