Carlos Delgado, currently on the disabled list, will go under the knife to repair his right hip injury.
According to reports, Delgado will likely miss at least six weeks.
Can the Mets survive with the trio of Fernando Tatis, Jeremy Reed and Daniel Murphy? Maybe, but I think the team would be better served trading for a competent first baseman to replace Delgado. There is no guarantee Delgado will return to form post-surgery.
My vote is to see if Aubrey Huff is available from the Orioles. If he is, I'd try to trade for him.
With Delgado out for an extended period of time, the Mets might have a move to make. That is, unless, they're confident enough in Tatis, Murphy or Reed.
