According to an article for MLB.com, the Mets starting LF -- Moises Alou -- will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a sports hernia. This is a pretty big blow to the Mets' lineup considering the guy mashed lefties at a .360 pace and hit an overall of .341. Alou has also missed time for the past 5 seasons due to injury. Including last year in which he only played in 89 games due to a strained right quad.The two biggest question marks for the Mets are now..Who will replace Alou while he is out with injury and who will be the fifth starter?
These questions remain to be answered, but we will find out within the next 27 days... My best quess would have to be Endy Chavez replacing Alou or Angel Pagan, who has been mashing the ball during the first week or two of the spring.
Race for the 5th starter...
Candidate #1: Orlando Hernandez
Candidate #2: Mike Pelfrey
Race for the starting LF job:
- Endy Chavez
- Angel Pagan
- Fernando Martinez?
- Marlon Anderson
Whats your best guess?
