NEW YORK -- Neil Walker plans to undergo surgery to repair a herniated disk in his back, ending his season and potentially his New York Mets career. Saucony Shadow 5000 Mint .Manager Terry Collins announced Walkers intention and said the second baseman would address the subject Thursday.Walker has been nagged by recurring lower-back trouble, which has been causing weakness in a leg and numbness in a foot.General manager Sandy Alderson earlier Wednesday expressed confidence Walker could play through the injury, but the parties subsequently had another doctor review Walkers MRI and the direction changed. Collins said the decision to have surgery surprised him.After all the evidence has been gathered, he thinks thats where hes probably headed, Collins said. ... All of the stuff that has to come together to reach a decision, for me its mind-boggling -- all the different pieces that have to be put in place. Hell give you the whole diagram tomorrow, but were certainly very disappointed that it comes to this. Hes had a tremendous year for us. Certainly he makes the decision, and its in his best interest.Acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates last December for left-hander Jonathon Niese, Walker hit .282 with a career-high-matching 23 homers and 55 RBIs in 412 at-bats.Niese was reacquired from the Pirates on Aug. 1, but since has undergone surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee that likely will end his season, too. Walkers loss means three-quarters of the Mets Opening Day infield is done for the season. Third baseman David Wright underwent surgery to repair a ruptured disk in his neck, while first baseman Lucas Duda has suffered a setback in his attempt to return from a stress fracture in his lower back.Walker is eligible for free agency this winter. It remains to be seen how much the 30-year-old Walkers value will be affected by the back surgery. Its also uncertain whether the injury diminishes the Mets interest in Walker. Alderson recently had expressed an interest in engaging Walkers agent about a potential extension.The Mets have several options to cover Walkers absence. Wilmer Flores and Kelly Johnson, who combined for five RBIs in Wednesdays 5-2 win against the Miami Marlins, likely will share the position. The Mets also figure to promote infielders T.J. Rivera and Matt Reynolds from Triple-A Las Vegas when the Pacific Coast League regular season ends on Monday.The Mets did make a move Wednesday to shore up their late-inning relief. They acquired right-handed reliever Fernando Salas from the Los Angeles Angels for minor league right-hander Erik Manoah. Because Salas was acquired before midnight, he will be eligible for the Mets postseason roster.Salas, 31, was 3-6 with a 4.47 ERA and six saves in 58 relief appearances with the Angels this season. He is eligible for free agency this offseason. The Mets also sent Triple-A catcher Nevin Ashley to the Texas Rangers for cash. Saucony Sneakers Nederland .

A healthy, reinvented, and newly improved version of Drew Tate raring to go is exciting to say the least. A focus of MMA influenced off-season training, coupled with kettlebell training, and Tate hopes to put his injury-riddled past behinnd him and play up to his and everyone elses expectations. Saucony Shadow 5000 Kopen. He needs to seize this opportunity, put the past behind him and produce like I know he can. Now if for some reason this does not transpire, never fear, KG is near! Kevin Glenn played the role of back-up QB like no other in recent memory. When called upon he simply delivered on every occasion with the exception of the final game of the season in 2012. He elevated his stature as a leader and elite QB in the league last season with how he handled himself in what could have been an extremely precarious situation, if handled differently. Glenn showed humility and poise, time and time again, refusing to make it about himself and giving his teammates an opportunity to stay focused and trust in his leadership when needed. If thats not enough, throw in a Bo Levi Mitchell, who is a stud in the making, and the Stamps are set for the foreseeable future! When called upon in spot duty last year, Mitchell delivered on a regular basis and when given the chance, delivered as anticipated. Love this kid, big time! Ryan Perrilloux is another one of those raw talents with a spectacular resume. Check out what this kid did as a senior in high school and why he was named Mr. Football in the great state of Louisiana. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
