Pedro Martinez has been quoted that "we're aiming for July or August as the return date."
"The problem has to do with the calcification of the bone that was broken with the tear and that had to be operated on."
He also said that he has added about 10 pounds of muscle, as part of their plan.
...sounds like a good outlook to me, putting on the weight and all too. hopefully we can get to july/august with our current staff (barring trades / signings) which i believe we can...
...Glavine looked great at the end, and with out young guns gearing up to show what they've got, i think we will be pretty good until Petey comes back...

Uh-Oh? Zito to sign with the Giants?
Sources at ESPN.com are reporting that they believe Barry Zito will sign with the San Francisco Giants.
The deal is rumored to be 7-years, $18 mil per season.
Zito, who already lives in the area, looks like he will continue to stay there for a long time.
... damn! i really thought we would sign him, for about 5 years, and he would be the guy, that one single link in the chain of players that completes the team, and makes us a legacy and not just a great team...
...shucks...

Report on Zito Talks.
...so many different sources are reporting that the Mets talks with Barry Zito went very well. They all say that Omar and his team made great headway into bringing Zito to New York...
...excellent. i am so pumped for the big offseason signing Omar will hopefully pull off. it's the bright light during the long stretch without baseball. If there was no Hot Stove Reports or anything of that matter, i don't know what i would do with these barren months...
...there have also been rumors about bringing Mark Mulder on board if we don't sign Zito...
...boy, we really like ex-A's pitchers. they are both products of Rick 'The Jacket' Peterson, so we know they're good, and under his watchful eye again, he could probably make them even better...
...so here is to the big offseason move we have become accustomed to with Omar...
Let's Go Mets!

Zito to Meet Next Week
Free Agent Barry Zito looks like he will be meeting with the Mets next week in NYC.
...promising...very promising...
The Mets are also rumored to be interested in Jeff Suppan.
...i guess we're going with the "if you can't beat them, sign them to your team" theory. i wouldn't mind Suppan, as he is a good pitcher, i just wouldn't want to overspend on him...

Mazilli joins Mets crew...in the studio
Lee Mazilli will join Matt Yallof in the SNY studios next season.
This will allow Darling, Hernandez, and Cohen to work together on a more regular basis.
...well my dad has been pulling for Mazilli to join Randolphs coaching staff, so i guess that won't happen...
...maybe he can pull a Girardi and anchor for a season, and then jump back into coaching...
...and a "yay" for the trio of DarNanEn back into the booth!...
(i apologize for that terrible nickname)

Mets to gain right to Matsuzaka?
HotFoot is reporting that if the contract talks break down between Boston and Daisuke Matsuzaka the Comissioner of baseball has the right to award the next highest team to negotiate with him.
The next highest bidding team: The New York Mets.
...this information isn't 100% credible as it comes from a Wiki, but if anyone has the time to write up mock baseball rules...well...they must have no life...
...so if we can even talk to talk to Matsuzaka i think we would completely lose out on Zito as he would see where our alliegences lie...
...i think they should persue Zito as he is proven against major league hitters, and would not cost $40 mil just to talk contracts and numbers...

50 game suspension does not phase the Mets.
It seems that Guillermo Mota and the Mets have agreed to a 2 year deal, worth $5 mil.
Mota is suspended the first 50 games of 2007 after violating MLB drug policy.
...with the way he pitched at the end, i can see why the mets are signing this guy even with the suspension.
...that makes two Mets who have violatied (Yasuruku Iriki)
...i really do like this deal though. and for the way the market has been lately, this is dirt cheap...

Mets close to trade..
The Mets are close to trading for Royals relief pitcher Ambiorix Burgos.
The Royals are looking to get a pitching prospect in return.
...well, i can't say that name at all...
...im assuming they want Bannister, Maine, or Pelfrey. i'm very scared to give up any of them, as they all look way too promising. i would love to keep them all, along with Perez and have a really solid rotation...
