Wright out, Lutz in.

'Minor' side pull.

And so it begins....

Didn't you JUST complain yesterday about all backups?

:checks IGT:

Yes, I can confirm this.

Did not.

I said many of them would be starting in August, which was actually another shot at the regulars.

Misinterpreted that. Fair enough. At least your consistent.

Mike Puma says Mets considering Kirk for OD. All it took was one Intrasquad game for prognosticating surprise roster moves.

Of course, since its Mike Puma, its no more reliable than Mike Silva making a similar prediction.

I'd like to think Cut-and-Paste would be able to push Andres Torres to the curb, but I'm just not feeling it.

David Wright is scratched. Looks like the stiff back virus is going around. Thanks Reese Havens!

Putting Kirk on the Opening Day roster would still get him a good 250-300 PA, perhaps more if Bay or Torres get pushed to the curb at some point, so looking at it in that light, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Still, the non-every day role/inconsistent playing time would bother me, and more importantly, the Mets can save an extra year on Kirk's service time by waiting to promote him later in the year. Why burn a year off his clock by using him as an extra outfielder right from the get go?

Also, keep in mind it's Mike Puma who wrote it, and he even added "it's more likely he goes to AAA Buffalo".

Considering Wright's back injury history lets hope for the best here, Haven's back stuff was always tied in with 'rib cage'. That said...

The dream continues!!

Quote:

Left-handed pitching prospect Robert Carson got a favorable diagnosis of the intercostal strainon his right side, which required an injection.

Carson said the strain is very minor and he is being allowed to resume lightly tossing a baseball today. The strain originally was reported as being on the left side, but actually is on his glove side.

He tweaked the muscle with about seven or eight pitches to go while throwing batting practice. He finished the session and did post-workout running, but it tightened once he returned to the clubhouse.
