Damn

[Frayed Knot]

That'll be half a year I'm guessing.

[Benjamin Grimm]

For now they're saying six to eight weeks, but that sounds pretty optimistic.

[Fman99]

I know Tomas Nido can't hit his weight as an 11 year old but I feel like Omar Narvaez is as good as a #2 catcher as the Mets could hope to have.

JD Martinez, we need you NOW.

[Edgy MD]

I wouldn't sneeze at JD Martinez, but the player he's lined up to take most of his plate appearances from is our current OPS leader.

I'm curious if Brett Baty gets tomorrow's start at third after finishing the game today.

Alvarez plays so so hard that sometimes he is all ankles elbows and thumbs

I'm looking for JD Martinez to be a contributor not a savior

I believe they had targeted Baty for Monday at SF but he looked healthy yesterday

LGM

The new report says he'll be out 6-8 weeks.

Six to eight weeks, they say, but my experience is telling me, today, that I should be very happy if he's back by the All-Star break.

[metirish]

Isn't it Alvarez saying 6 to 8 weeks though?

[metirish]

[MFS62]

The swing might be ok, but I'm not sure if he will be able to take the pounding on his catching hand.
He might have to DH for a while after he returns.
