Another Starter Added To The M.A.S.H Unit

Moises Alou is sidelined for 4-6 weeks after having hernia surgery today. Alou flew to New York to have a groin injury looked at and it lead to today's surgery. The rumors surrounding the Mets and Tigers getting a deal done for Jorge Sosa in exchange for Marcus Thames might become more than just a rumor now with Alou out for Opening Day.

It's a deal they have to make in my opinion to sure up some back-up roles. The bullpen is thin i understand but we have a lot of good young arms proving themselves this spring. Thames could play either corner outfield spot and spell Delgado on days lefties pitch. A situation that might happen is that F-mart gets to the majors earlier than he thought. Which i don't think will be good for his development. I love the potential he has but not MLB ready yet. Pagan is playing well right now and we might need to use him till Alou gets back and if we cant land Thames...........

2 Days until my Mets Weekend in PSL
