Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The New York Mets announced Friday afternoon that outfielder Jason Bay will be placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 26, which is the day he was diagnosed with a concussion after crashing into the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium last Friday. Jesus Feliciano will take his spot on the Mets' active roster. This is not great news for the Mets as they hang around on the periphery of the playoff race, 5 1/2 games out of the wild card and 6 1/2 behind the Braves in the NL East. Bay has been a bit of a disappointment in the first year of his monster contract with the Mets thanks to a .402 slugging percentage and just six home runs, but his injury means more playing time for Jeff Francoeur and Feliciano, and neither one of them has been very good at all this year.
Francoeur is hitting just .241/.293/.377 and Feliciano isn't much better at .291/.304/.363 in limited action with the Mets this year. The good news for the Mets, if you can really call it that considering that just two weeks ago they were in the middle of a playoff race, is that this news came before the trade deadline, so they can decide if they want to try and trade for a Bay replacement or bulk up elsewhere to make a run at things this year or simply fold up shop, sell off some assets, and try to reload for 2011.
