Mets Notes: Bullpen, Montero, Wright

By Jeff Todd | August 17, 2015 at 8:50pm CDT

Here’s the latest on the Mets, who currently enjoy a healthy 4.5-game cushion over the fading Nationals in the NL East:

  • Mets GM Sandy Alderson says that he does not “foresee” the team pulling off a deal to bolster its bullpen, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports (Twitter links). While New York has had some uneven results out of its pen, Alderson said that the players who have cleared waivers would not seem to offer much of an upgrade. He did indicate that righty Vic Black could be brought back up to add another arm.
  • One player who won’t be able to provide support from inside the organization is righty Rafael Montero. Alderson said that Montero has suffered a setback that may well see him shelved the rest of the season, as Puma reports (Twitter links). The New York GM said that the promising 24-year-old, who has dealt with shoulder issues for much of the year, is now back to “square one” in the recovery process.
  • In more promising injury news, the Mets seem to be lining up a big league return next week for third baseman David Wright, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com tweets. Wright, who has been out for an extended stretch with potentially serious back problems, could be activated for the team’s series at the Phillies. The Mets are obviously eager to welcome back their highest-paid player and will hope that he can provide a boost at the plate. While trade deadline infield additions Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson have boosted the club’s depth, neither has hit particularly well since coming to New York.

      I Parnell pitch last Sunday, he didn’t look that bad. He would have gotten out of that inning unscathed if the Mets defense didn’t look like a little league team. I can’t believe he got charged with that error, he had a perfect throw in the perfect place.

        His fastball is a straight 94, not going to get it by many ML hitters, the knuckle curve is the only other offering and he can’t get it over for a strike.

        Parnell has been exceptionally terrible. He has walked more guys than he has struck out. You want your relievers to be striking out at least 3 guys for every guy they walk; Parnell is striking out 2 guys for every 3 he walks. Álvarez and Verrett are both internal options who would be more successful than 2015 Bobby Parnell.
