Redding hit hard again

Source (fanball.com) (SP - nyn) | 0 comments.

Tim Redding pitched poorly for the second straight outing as the Mets fell to the Marlins 7-3 on Sunday. All seven runs came off of Redding, who gave up eight hits and two walks.

Our View: This makes 13 earned runs over his last 8.2 innings of work. Suddenly, Oliver Perez is looking like a decent option for the Mets rotation. However, with Perez experiencing a setback in his rehab, Redding should make at least a few more starts. You should stay away of him in fantasy leagues.

The New York Daily News reports that Oliver Perez has been taken off of his rehab assignment after an MRI revealed tendinitis in his right knee. He will go back to Port St. Lucie to rehab the knee.

News: Mets left-hander Oliver Perez will be going on the disabled list because of tendinitis in his right knee. Perez returned to the Mets as a free agent for a $36 million, three-year contract, then was dropped from the rotation after going 1-2 with a 9.97 ERA in five starts. He had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed patellar tendinitis, which causes pain in the kneecap. Mets general manager Omar Minaya said Perez will be put on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, a move retroactive to May 3.

News: From the The Sports Xchange: Oliver Perez was stationed in the bullpen Tuesday in Atlanta, after his 9.97 ERA and 21 walks in 21 2/3 innings cost him his spot in the rotation. But the left-hander said his troubles pale in comparison with the difficulties at the end of his tenure with the Pirates in 2006, when he was dispatched to the minors to rediscover himself. Perez went 2-10 with a 6.63 ERA in 15 starts for Pittsburgh during the first half of '06 before being demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis. After six minor league starts, the Mets acquired him at the trading deadline. "That was worse," Perez said. "At that moment, I was thinking too much. I was putting too much pressure on me. I didn't enjoy the game. When I came to the field, I was thinking, 'What's going to happen?' I wasn't feeling comfortable. You're thinking about your legs and everything and you don't enjoy the game. You don't relax. Right now I understand what I have to do. All my teammates here tell me, 'We understand you can do this.' And, 'You're better than that. You have to keep working and try to get back.'" [...]

Things continue to unravel for Perez, who was removed from the Mets rotation after another wild outing last time out against the Phillies. "The knee has been bothering me all season," Perez said. "It doesn't feel good. This is my first time pitching with something that has bothered me. It's not easy." The plan is for Perez to pitch in long relief for now, but a DL stint or a Minor League demotion hasn't been ruled out.

News: Oliver Perez is taking his 9.97 ERA to the New York Mets' bullpen. Manager Jerry Manuel said Monday left-hander Ken Takahashi will replace the struggling Perez in the rotation. Manuel said the 40-year-old Takahashi will "definitely" make more than one start as Perez works in relief as a situational left-hander. "He'll be in the bullpen until we can try to rebuild him, get him right," Manuel said, adding it won't be easy to find the right situations for Perez. Manuel said Perez could hasten his return to the rotation "if he's lights out" in his first relief appearance. "He's taking it as a challenge," Manuel said. "I think he is not very happy with the way he's been performing. It's discouraging for him. He is one of those guys who has a lot of energy, that people like being around. ... And his teammates love him. They want him to do good. They really pull for a guy like this." [...]

News: From the The Sports Xchange: Oliver Perez's miserable start Saturday against the Phillies appears to have cost him a spot in the rotation. Manager Jerry Manuel said Perez would be available for bullpen work early in the week. Team officials said it is unresolved whether Perez (1-2, 9.97 ERA) will remain in the bullpen for the foreseeable future or be asked to right himself in the minors. Perez, who has walked 21 in 21 2/3 innings, is in the first season of a three-year, $36 million deal. Perez would need to consent to go to the minors since he has more than five years of major-league service time. After Saturday's loss, Perez suggested he would be willing to go to the minors if the club asked. He backtracked Sunday. "That was frustration," Perez said about his initial willingness. "... That was a tough day for me." [...]

News: Oliver Perez said he has been bothered by a sore right knee, raising the possibility of a stint on the DL. A move to the DL could also cushion the blow of a return to the minors by sending him there for rehab starts instead of performance-related issues. "The knee's been bothering me for the whole season," Perez said. "I try to pitch with that. I try to help my team and I don't do that right now."

There are a litany of options on the table for Perez, which include relief work for the Mets this week, a Minor League assignment and even a stint on the disabled list. A placement on the DL is deemed the most unlikely scenario, even though Perez said he has been affected by his right knee all season. "It doesn't feel good," Perez said. Manuel indicated that pitching in long relief could be the best option, but no choice is a clear frontrunner as the Mets continue to sort through their options. In any case, Perez should be disowned in all mixed formats. Even NL-only leaguers should look elsewhere for help. Ken Takahashi, who pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings in his first appearance on Saturday, could take Perez's start on May 8.

New York Mets SP Oliver Perez allowed four runs and five hits over 2 1/3 innings Saturday, May 2, against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to The Associated Press. He walked six and struck out two, as his ERA for the season rose to 9.97. Manager Jerry Manuel kept him in the rotation primarily because of his success against the Phillies last season, but may be considering taking him out again. "I really have to think about it," he said. "His confidence is shot." Perez was 1-0 with an 0.35 ERA against Philadelphia in four starts and 26 innings in 2008.
