If it was a tear it would have been easy to spot. What am I not seeing? A bruise/meniscus issue... whatever else Im fine with.
Like I said, if there's one thing we have a shit load of its IF depth. Even if Lowrie misses the beginning of the season, that doesn't bother me all that much.
whenever he returns. If he plays like crap bc he's slowed down by his knee, that's almost worse than if it was an MCL, he got the surgery now, and was back at 100% in 2 months. If it lingers like Cespedes' endless hamstring injuries, that may be the actual worst case scenario.
In the short term, this will seemingly give Frazier some more opportunity for playing time. 1B will likely still be 1 of the 3 kids. I'd imagine they will keep Mcneil in the OF until they have no other alternative, especially if Nimmo is banged up.
Heck, even a torn meniscus guys are back in 6 weeks these days. The big concern for me was ACL. Especially, since it was the back of the knee. Seems like disaster is adverted.
It's probably a sprain, or a bruise, or tendinitis... any of which Im not too concerned about.
I love the Lowrie addition. For me, it was an extremely way to get an even "better" Marwin Gonzalez type on the roster for cheaper than MG was likely asking for. It was extremely creative.
It was still a move to create depth though. Im actually hoping Lowrie turns into a super sub and is no longer starting late in the year because that will mean McNeil is playing at a high level, Cespedes returned, Alonso is hitting, etc. All good things.
Lowrie is a nice hedge for most of those things not happening. He gives you a floor of wRC+ 115-120 which is nice. That doesnt mean he's irreplaceable though. Its probably not a huge drop off to guys like JD Davis, or even somebody like TJ Rivera for a while. We can withstand him missing a few games.
Heck, I welcome any guy to go down for a stint this year. Its going to happen. I just want NO knock out blows for once. No catastrophic season enders that change the entire landscape of the season like we've dealt with the last two years. If we can survive the complete heart breakers for once I think we are going to be playoff contention the last week of the season.
I'm not a medical expert, but I don't think they generally perform surgery on athletes to cure soreness.
That's the point - the fact that there's no surgery could mean whatever the problem is might not be fixable. Just something he will have to live with or hope heals with rest. Obviously there's some kind of discomfort/concern beyond general soreness, and while it may be good there's no major acute injury (surgery) the alternative might be that it's something chronic which isn't necessarily better news.
obviously it's probably better news than major surgery. Although with major surgery at least they'd know the insurance money is coming back and would be free to reinvest it now.

What's not fixable that is clean in an MRI? arthritis would show up in an MRI and/or x-ray, strain, sprain, tears, etc. would show up in an MRI.
again, I'm not a medical expert and I know as Mets fans, even good news can be bad, but I'm not worrying until there's something to worry about. So I worried until the MRI came back, now I won't worry.
The Mets have a ton of *good* players on their roster.
Elite players: deGrom, Syndergaard, Diaz
Potentially Elite Players: Conforto, Nimmo, Wheeler
Good Players: Cano, Lowrie, Ramos, Matz, Familia, McNeil, Lugo,
Likely Solid Contributors: Gsellman, J.Wilson, Frazier, Lagars, Broxton
High Upside Young Players: Alonso, JD Davis, Rosario
Question Marks: d'Arnaud, Vargas, Back of the bench/back of the bullpen.
So basically we only have a handful of question marks.
Good post but I think people are severely underestimating Cano. If he's healthy and hasn't started to regress yet (and there's no real reason to suggest he has) he essentially replaces "healthy Cespedes". We were talking about it on MMO and its true. Cespedes's best seasons ever are essentially Cano's "average". If you throw in that Cano can still play D and is providing offense from a much more difficult position.... I think people are going to be seriously surprised this year. Thats not to say that the decline is not coming eventually, but Cano very easily could be our best hitter this year.
cannot be counted on to be elite, even if healthy. That's why I don't bunch him in the elite group. The only reason I say that is because he is 36, and the only players recently that are that age and remained elite are pretty much Adrian Beltre and Carlos Beltran, and they started to fade a tad in their age 36 seasons.
Cruz for one. Its rare but every once in a while you find a guy with good genetics who's built a certain way that can last longer than most. Cano is built like a bull, has stayed healthy almost his entire career, and simply has a beautiful swing. He was hitting bombs today ini practice.
Maybe Im griping but I'd have him at least in the "potentially elite" group but beyond your post I just felt it was something that needs to be said.
I think too many people are hung up on the contract and Kelenic and forgetting that this is an amazing player likely still playing at a high level this year.
wasn't considered as part of my grouping. I don't really worry about Kelenic and he doesn't go into my evaluation here.
I love Cano as a player. I am only speaking to his age. He had a 3.0 WAR in 80 games, which is great, it's borderline elite for a single season.
But again, he is 36. I hope I'm wrong. But I expect him to be a good not great player this year. Not a knock on him, just my realistic expectations. But that's a whole lot better than a lot of players out there.
My larger point is that the Mets have a lot of good players.
I am really really hopeful that *Pete* Alonso turns into a star and I think he will. I just see Mark McGwire written all over him. His power is immense.
Stuff earlier than anyone else (he constantly touts that and did a google check), but he was dead wrong on Machado going to white Sox. I dont think Harper to Phillies is really a stretch but his timing and all that is pretty definitive. If they do announce tomorrow after presser then I am inclined to believe his stuff about the Mets and Harper which was pseudo consistent with that rumor floated on Metsmesmerized earlier this year.
100% fake. One of the people I speak to knows who he is and knows him personally. Made me promise not to say anything more because they are "friends". But he supplied evidence. Good on that dude to be getting attention but he's not an insider. His statement about timing proves nothing... Machado's presser is this morning and as of last night Harper didn't even have a deal (even per that guys own claims) so announcing AFTER Machado.. uh.. yeah. How could it happen any other way? lol

Any Harper jerseys in the team store would originally be blanks, that are pressed in the Phillies team store, as it takes weeks for production/shipping for larger quantities (not to mention contractual issues with Majestic/Fanatics). That's how the Padres did it for Machado."
says it's not a lock they carry a 2nd lefty. Avilan's velocity will be something to watch. 83-84 in September. Wilson isn't "great" vs. lefties so I still think they likely carry 2 but at least he's open to going with the better option if there is one.
Callaway says the Mets wont carry a second left-hander in the bullpen unless there is a worthy candidate. The manager says he is comfortable enough with Edwin Diaz, Jeurys Famila and Seth Lugo against lefties that an additional left-hander isnt paramount.
On May 9 of last season Cecchini, playing for Triple-A Las Vegas fouled a ball off his right foot and initially thought he had a bone bruise. He was diagnosed with a broken foot and placed in a walking boot. Before he could fully return there was a tear in the foot that ended his season.
Cecchini indicated he was somewhat surprised he cleared waivers and returned to the Mets.
I thought it was 50/50 I would return, just because I knew there were teams out there that would love to have me, Cecchini said. But I thought the timing part of it, when they did it, which was a week before camp reported, most rosters are filled, so I am a firm believer everything happens for a reason and God wants me here at this time.
Are all but out on Harper. Offered over 300 million.. with over 200 deferred. Harper still speaking to the Giants and Phillies with the Padres considering asking for a second meeting with Manny in the room. Phillies want to close this out but but haven't yet. That's the latest from an impeccable source. He's yet to pick his next team though the expectation is Philadelphia with Boras pushing for the highest AAV ever

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the timing on Cecchini wasn't the Mets being dicks (and I know no one said this), but was more to make room for Justin Wilson, who didn't sign until late January.

PJ you aren't wrong. I think he's just "defending" himself being unclaimed aka "its not me, it's the timing". I refuse to give up the ghost on him being a potential big leaguer but 2b only profile is very, very tough and with Cano here.. he probably would have been better off having been claimed

I never see it in the real world, ONLY online, which means it says something about the human condition. Is it intentional or instinct? Why online only? #NaturallyCurious"
for the Phillies if the Padres outbid them for both Machado and Harper.
Personally, I'd love it. Even better if they follow up by giving $100M to Kimbrel.
How is that more embarrassing for the Phillies than the Mets who didn't even make an offer?
If I'm a Phillies fan I know they tried and I feel like Arrenado or pipe dream Trout could be realistic targets in the future (in the unlikely event Trout hits FA), but as a Mets fan, I'm already crossing those names off my list and starting at the next level down of players.
Apparently is a already on the hot seat with some claiming the Phillies even discussed dumping him earlier this off season. Fully admit like Mickey loved the resume but yeesh

LOL. He's an idiot Dan, long past being any kind of relevant. You should unfollow. I did a purge of my twitter feed and stopped following worthless people and it was really improvement. Best unfollow ever for me was was Frank Isola.
guess is the Rockies lock up Arenado and soon. The owner seemed confident. If not, the favorites have to be the Yankees but you never know, once a player is traded all bets are off.

Not embarrassing in the least bit for Philly IMO.
Philly themselves talked about spending "stupid money" this offseason. You really think it's "not embarrassing in the least bit" if they get outbid by the Padres on both players?
We'll have to disagree on that one. IMO, when you talk a big game and lose two stud players in their prime to the Padres over bidding, it's embarrassing.

right and I doubt Trout even sniffs free agency, my point was more the fact the Phillies were competitive with these marquee free agents is already less embarrassing than the Mets. Almost like Sandy flippantly saying we don't need Stanton we have Nimmo (even though Nimmo had a breakout year - Sandy meant it tongue in cheek).
We've moved on. As I said back then and we had to. There was no way we could wait around. Bryce, I'm sure will make his decision hopefully in the next few days, but we've filled out our roster and like I said, we wish him nothing but the best."
Before the end of the 2018 season, the Nats presented Harper and his agent Scott Boras a 10-year, $300 million offer to which they declined.
There have been reports that multiple teams have been in on the Harper sweepstakes, most notably the Phillies, Padres and Giants. As far as recent talks with the Nationals? There haven't been any.
"But there's always that, the door's cracked a little bit," Lerner added. "I have no clue at this point what they're up to. We really haven't heard from them in a couple months."
Probably the one place he could not have gone IMO in terms of the Mets chances. I dont think the Phillies are necessarily better than the Mets with Harper although its probably close.
taking a job with the Tampa Rays. Cameron left to go to the Padres last year, and other writers have gotten jobs for teams too.
Reading that site over the past 5 years has been incredibly educational. A rare chance on a free site to get inside the minds of what the cutting edge front office guys in baseball are thinking and how they break down problems and value players.
do NOT deny interest in Harper and the FO will be meeting to discuss "the next move" as an organization. So much for Harper to the Phillies being a done deal with jerseys already delivered.
says prior to Manny committing the Padres had an offer to Harper worth more overall money than the Manny offer. That may include bonuses etc. Imagine they really do land both? Jeez.
Brodie Van Wagenen said on @wcbs880 that Jed Lowries MRI revealed no significant damage, and theyll bring him along slowly. #Mets
Im usually the second most optomistic one around here. Of the on,y two here. But personally, I dont see the good news there.
Like I said, if there's one thing we have a shit load of its IF depth. Even if Lowrie misses the beginning of the season, that doesn't bother me all that much.
this is good news because Lowrie still his his lower limbs, he didn't tear an ACL/MCL, he didn't have any significant damage.
if Lowrie is with the team for the start of the regular season this is good news.
Most of us were prepared for the worst, which may still happen "as they bring him along slowly", but for now there's still hope.
In the short term, this will seemingly give Frazier some more opportunity for playing time. 1B will likely still be 1 of the 3 kids. I'd imagine they will keep Mcneil in the OF until they have no other alternative, especially if Nimmo is banged up.

Lowrie is a nice hedge for most of those things not happening. He gives you a floor of wRC+ 115-120 which is nice. That doesnt mean he's irreplaceable though. Its probably not a huge drop off to guys like JD Davis, or even somebody like TJ Rivera for a while. We can withstand him missing a few games.
