Week in Review.

Okay with the first week of March over, lets review.

Saturday March 1st:

Carlos Delgado has a barking right hip that has resulted in a trip to New York to see Mets doctors

Michel Abreu is projected to be the Triple-A first baseman, while prospect Mike Carp wasn’t even invited to big-league camp

• Carlos Muniz, who has been slowed by a hamstring injury


• Mets 1 Dodgers 0

Sunday March 2nd:

• Ruben Gotay sprained the inside of his right ankle sliding into home plate
  
• Angel Pagan had the game-deciding hit, his two-out, two-RBI single to center in the ninth capped a three-run inning and lifted the Zephyrs to a 6-5 win in the Mets’ final trip to Dodgertown.


• Rule 5 pick Steven Register tossed a 1-2-3 inning


• Joe Smith, who looks ticketed for New Orleans to start the season, allowed an RBI single to Nomar Garciaparra before getting an inning-ending double play


• Brady Clark, who has played well early in camp, had an RBI groundout


• Scott Schoeneweis surrendered an RBI single to Rafael Furcal


• Delgado received an ejection of anti-inflammatories during his seven-and-a-half-hour stay in New York, and expects to take pills as well.


• Jose Reyes had his left knee wrapped in ice after fouling a pitch off the outside of it the day before.


• Mets 6 Dodgers 5

Monday March 3rd:

• The Mets have placed Scott Schoeneweis and Jorge Sosa on the trading block. The projected bullpen looks to include: Billy Wagner, Aaron Heilman, Duaner Sanchez, Pedro Feliciano, Matt Wise, Schoeneweis and Sosa.


• Mets 3 Braves 2

What would opening a bullpen spot or two do? It could make room for Mike Pelfrey as the long relief guy, gives Steven Register a chance to make the team, and Joe Smith as well. Brian Stokes is out of options, too.

Tuesday March 4th:

• Luis Castillo ran the bases for the first time to test his surgically cleaned knees.


• Endy Chavez has started running bases


• Carlos Beltran was running bases and planned to test his surgically cleaned knees sliding


• Michel Abreu went out with a strained right hip flexor, which occurred Monday


• Mets 6 Marlins 2

Wednesday March 5th:

• Orlando Hernandez was practicing his now-less-pronounced leg kick, a new delivery set up by pitching coach Rick Peterson


• Brady Clark is volunteering to play first base, a position he hasn’t played in the majors


• John Maine is adamant that the Mets have not discussed a multi-year deal with him.


• Mets 3 Dodgers 2

Thursday March 6th:

• Damion Easley and Marlon Anderson both returned injuries


• Game rained out

Friday March 7th:

• Juan Padilla and Ben Johnson were reassigned to the minor-league camp

• Duaner Sanchez was great in a perfect seventh inning,two grounders and one strikeout and pronounced himself “97 percent of what you saw in ’06.”


• Jorge Sosa tossed three scoreless relief innings against the Orioles.


• In a simulated game El Duque threw the equivalent of three innings to no batters off a bullpen mound


• Playing today were RF Ryan Church (back from concussion), C Brian Schneider (double hammies), CF Endy Chavez (ankle) and DH Damion Easley (ankle).


• with Jorge Sosa, Marlon Anderson and Ramon Castro playing Baltimore in Ft. Lauderdale
