Brandon Knight goes from the Somerset Patriots, a league for FAs, to the bigs within one season.

Will this cost him his spot on Davey Johnson's squad?

[duan]

depends how long he hangs around I suppose.

Question of the day... Knight goes out and has a huge start, pitches great. Go to Beijing to try to win gold, or try to win a championship as a bit pitcher with the Mets?

This is the first I've heard about the torn labrum. Did I miss this?
Is it normal to not have this diagnosed until two months after the fact? I mean, in the real world, not Met medical/training staff world.

[metirish]

Stay with the Mets , would he have a choice if that's what they wanted?

[Guest AG/DC]

His torn labrum isn't news. What is news is the acceptance that therapy instead of surgery won't work.

Is baseball even a medal sport this year?

[seawolf17]

Yes, but this is the last time. It's out in 2012.

[Valadius]

I say go win the gold. The Mets will always be around, but this only comes once.

[Guest attgig]
