Figuring that this is back-dated to his last appearance, the minimum stay for both catchers puts their returns right about at the same time - some 11 days from now.

Third degree sprain for Easley. Done for the season, no?

WASHINGTON -- Damion Easley became the latest member of the Mets to fall victim to injury after spraining his ankle during Saturday's game.
Doctors diagnosed it as a third-degree sprain, which will almost certainly end his season.

Any replacement for Easley announced yet?

A. Hernandez was removed from last night's NO game so I guess it will be him until Endy is ready. Anderson will be pissed when he sees 1) somebody else with his number and 2) somebody else with his name.

]2) somebody else with his name.

First and last names.

I saw Anderson Hernandez in the dugout but no word on what his number is.

We need somebody right handed off the bench without Easley. What about Craig Monroe, recently DFAed by the Tigers?

[Valadius]

I'd take Monroe, definitely.

We need a power bat off the bench. A-Hern is definitely not that.

player-coach Rickey Henderson is probably already lobbying.
