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.

Jacksonville State Well Stampeders fans, I believe you are well covered and,
heading into the 2013 season, have the best QB scenario around! 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.
