Is Anyone Alive Out There: Ongoing Mets Thread

[Chef99]

Finally got around to getting mlb.tv. Having spent over two years now in a foreign country, it is so nice to see and hear SNY and my Metsies on a regular basis again. They look very nice in Roku.

Good thing we didn't trade any of our pitching depth.

This is a bummer. Gee, Matz and maybe even Montero have become a lot more important. Not to mention Thor...

Yeah I mean, I think we can replace his production, it sucks that we won't see him at 100% again probably for another 2 years but this hurts our ability to trade some of this pitching depth.

That really sucks......

the curse of the Wilpon's rears it's ugly head for yet another season....ugghhh

 

[Chef99]

Apparently, Joel Sherman of the Post has a little inside info that Montero, not Gee, is in line to take Wheeler's spot. This contradicts every single other sports site I've read that has reported on it. Gonna be interesting to see what happens...maybe Gee is still trade bait.

Gee to take Wheeler's place. So much for Joel Sherman!

Per Collins or Alderson?

if that's true...then maybe he'll finally step up and pitch well enough to get some other teams interested in him and we hopefully can get back something better in return down the road. He never really impressed me and he failed to perform to his potential..imho

Per Collins. It's also being reported that both Matz and Thor will start the season in Triple A. I don't think that'll last long, at least for one of them.

 

[Chef99]

And yeah, showcasing Gee at this point is not all that bad of an idea. Kinda forced into it.

WTF is with this team. I'm worried about tearing an ACL or something just watching them play.

Murph hurt...

JUPITER, Fla. (3/19) -- New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy departed Thursday's Grapefruit League against the St. Louis Cardinals with right hamstring tightness, a team spokesman said.

Murphy had singled and scored against left-hander Jaime Garcia in the top of the first inning. When the Mets took the field for the bottom half, prospect Phillip Evans had replaced Murphy at second base.

Murphy spent two weeks on the disabled list late last season with a strained right calf.

Mets' split squads twice as nice...

New York Mets' Dillon Gee a whiz in return to rotation - ESPN New York

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. --

Dillon Gee allowed two hits over 3 2/3 scoreless innings in his return to the Mets' rotation, and a New York split squad beat the Houston Astros 3-1 Thursday.

Gee, 7-8 with a 4.00 ERA in 22 starts last season, had been relegated to the bullpen when spring training began because of Matt Harvey's return from elbow surgery. Gee now appears to have regained a rotation spot because of Zack Wheeler's season-ending torn elbow ligament.Gee threw 47 pitches, walked two and struck out nine.Cuddyer and Granderson hit solo homers off former Mets pitcher Collin McHugh. Cuddyer's first-inning homer was his third of spring training and Granderson's fourth-inning drive was his second.Travis d'Arnaud added an RBI double in the sixth.Houston's Jonathan Villar hit an RBI double in the seventh.
