A player has option years. He can be sent up and down any number of times within the option years.

correct, but you have to be in the minors 20 days for it to count as an option year. I was wondering if the DL counts, or if he's done for the season does it not burn the option?

not that it probably matters in Kirk's case.

[Gwreck]

I think so, because he'd be on the Buffalo DL and not the major league DL.

Rob Johnson has a swollen hand. Again, probably an Fman joke in there somewhere, but I'm not sure how, exactly.

It obviously got swollen in the act of getting something else swollen.

Duh.

[metirish]

And like his hitting he came up limp both times.

So, you're saying his hand was, uh, engorged?

Look up a few posts. Metfairy suggests it was engorged while it was, uh, engaged.

Adam Ruby Tuesday reports, between titillating insinuations about Ike Davis' nightlife, that Frank Francisco would be unavailable to pitch tonight due to an unspecified elbow issue.

Actually, his report stated that he's "unavailable to close," which would be pretty funny if it didn't MAKE ME WANT TO KILL!

[Edgy MD]

Tendonitis.

[HahnSolo]

As if this team needs someone to close.

[Benjamin Grimm]

There goes the season.

Pat Zachry!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Metsblog and various twitterers reporting that Frank Frank may be out for the season - the 2013 season.

[Edgy MD]

FYUECAKH!!

Mixed feelings!

Incomplete journalism = Crazy stuff.

[Edgy MD]

Reviewing these reports, I'm guessing that there's an error and the report meant to say 2012.

[seawolf17]

By "reports," Edgy means Frankiefrank's medical reports, which he has faxed to him each morning along with notifications of every news story featuring any Met, former Met, and/or former Met's family member.

[Edgy MD]

I don't use fax anymore.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

It's been corrected to say the rest of this season -- all week of it.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Edgy MD]

Robert Carson has strained his triceratops, and is listed as day to day.

And the search for a second lefty goes on.

[Ceetar]

I bet you thought this thread was done..


Duda breaks his wrist moving furniture. had surgery, should be okay for Spring.

[Edgy MD]

I guess this will spill over into the 2013 thread, but Lucas Duda has apparently undergone surgery to repair a wrist he fractured while moving furniture.

[Frayed Knot]

Was the furniture in a gay-themed Australian bar?

[Edgy MD]

No, but the surgery was.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Yes, the surgeon patched the fracture with Vegemite while humming Peter Allen tunes.

[Edgy MD]

Didn't Dudissima have a wrist injury in college that sapped his power in his early pro career?
