That said, it was a lost season for the left-hander, who came under fire for being out of shape at the end of the WBC and seemingly struggled with his control whenever he took the mound. Given that he's still under contract for two more years, the Mets have little choice but to let him pitch and hope he regains some degree of effectiveness in 2010. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/608956 608956 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:12:15 EDT mlb.com 23 days 5 hours 33 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/608956 SI.com's Jon Heyman reports the New York Mets regret signing SP Oliver Perez in the offseason instead of Los Angeles Dodgers SP Randy Wolf. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/594825 594825 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 9:56:02 EDT kffl.com 31 days 8 hours 49 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/594825 Mets executive Fred Wilpon promised on Monday that the team's 2010 payroll will not be cut back, according to MetsBlog.com.

Our View: He said the payroll will be "what Omar needs," and that there is no limit. This dampens some conspiracy theorists' claims that Bernie Madoff stole all the Mets money, but does not show that they have grown any more adept at building a complete, winning ball club. All the money they've thrown at their lineup holes the past three seasons have brought exactly zero playoff wins, but instead of focusing on rebuilding their decimated farm system it looks as if they'll keep spending freely, hoping something sticks. Whatever figure they raise their 2010 payroll to, it will still include the $36 million they gave Oliver Perez last offseason. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/567238 567238 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:04:01 EDT fanball.com 47 days 5 hours 41 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/567238 CBSSports.com reports the New York Mets moved SP Oliver Perez (knee) to the 60-day disabled list Monday, Sept. 28. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/555335 555335 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:32:01 EDT kffl.com 53 days 4 hours 13 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Oliver_Perez/555335 News: The Mets moved pitcher Oliver Perez (knee) to the 60-day DL.
