tweet on Saturday. It said this 2014 Harvey day will happen. He is expected to miss the season
after Tommy John surgery but he said he wants to pitch. I don't think that will happen or should
happen.
David Wright and Daniel Murphy each
made their spring debuts on Friday.
Bartolo Colon and Bobby Parnell were scheduled to so do on Monday. Noah Syndergaard pitched on Saturday against
the Detroit Tigers and struggled a little bit.
He has been very good so far this spring though. I doubt he will come north with the team but
he is raising some eyebrows and keeping that hope for the future looking really
bright.
Ike Davis and Lucas Duda are both
still injured. Ike Davis arrived to camp
in a walking boot on Monday. Terry
Collins said that he will only use Eric Young Jr. at second if Murphy were
hurt.
The Mets hope for the future is in
their pitching and they can't let Harvey dictate to them. He needs to come back strong next year and
they could contend. If they have him,
Zack Wheeler, Jon Niese, Dillon Gee and Noah Syndergaard with guys like
Montero, Familia etc either in the bullpen or knocking on the door they will
have a good nucleas moving forward.
The Mets made their first round of
cuts on Monday. Josh Edgin was optioned
as well as Steven Matz, Erik Goeddel, Wilfredo Tovar and Cesar Puello. The team also reassigned Jack Leathersich,
John Church, Logan Verrett, Adam Kolarek, Chasen Bradford, Kevin Plawecki,
Danny Muno, Dustin Lawley, Brandon Nimmo and Cory Vaughn.
John Lannan is competing for the
final spot in the rotation. He will
start on Wednesday but manager Terry Collins said he will soon get work in the
bullpen. Wilmer Flores will start at
shortstop Tuesday against the Cardinals.
They still don't like Ruben Tejada and are trying anything to not have
him be their shortstop. I don't
necessarily blame them but they may have also affected Tejada. The Mets will head to Las Vegas this weekend
to take on the Chicago Cubs.
