Mets may Choo fat next year

New York Post — It was intended as a joke. “Outfield? What outfield?” Mets general manager Sandy Alderson quipped at the GM meetings in November, referring to the unproven outfielders on the team’s roster. However, Alderson’s joke morphed into reality — the Mets’ outfield has been a revolving door. Perhaps the biggest example...

Notebook: Rough night for Ike

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — Even in the field, things aren't going well for Ike Davis. As he continues to struggle at the plate (he has one hit in his last 33 at-bats after an 0-for-3 performance Monday), Davis compounded that by being charged with obstruction in the Mets' 4-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. With a runner on first and one out in the first, Cincinnati's Joey Votto hit a liner that bounced off the first bag and went to right field. Davis, who said he was looking for the ball, stood to the right of the bag with his back turned to the batter, and Votto pushed off him en route to second.

Terry Collins has no new information on Zack Wheeler or David Aardsma

Newsday — Most of his hitters aren't hitting, all of his starting pitchers not named Matt Harvey are struggling and even three victories in the previous four games weren't about to solve all of Mets manager Terry Collins' problems. So when he was asked before Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds if pitching prospect Zack Wheeler will be returning to the rotation for Triple-A Las Vegas after checking out shoulder soreness, Collins said: "I have no idea. I've got enough issues here."

Rapid Reaction: Reds 4, Mets 3

Mets Blog | ESPN New YorkJeremy Hefner has some company in the Mets' 0-5 club. Shaun Marcum became the second Mets starter to fall to 0-5 this year, as he got the loss in the Reds' 4-3 win at Citi Field on Monday. The Mets are now 1-14 in games in which Marcum and Hefner have appeared this year. They are 16-11 in all their other games. WINLESS: Marcum had an interesting night, as it looked like he would not make it out of the first inning when Cincinnati jumped on him for three runs in the first frame.

Murphy stays at top, Ike drops

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — Mets manager Terry Collins is keeping Daniel Murphy atop the lineup for Monday's game against Cincinnati, but first baseman Ike Davis' week-long trial at cleanup has ended, as he will hit sixth. Murphy hit in the leadoff spot for the first time all season Sunday against the Cubs and hit the go-ahead homer in the Mets' win. Collins said one of the reasons the team is riding Murphy at the top is due to no other hitters showing they should be setting the table.
