John Delcos reports that Moises Alou went 3 for 3 in a minor league rehab game today, in low level ball at St Lucie. In theory, Alou could return to the majors as early as next weekend.

Or, as late as 2010. My grandmother always told me, ‘never count your Moises Alous before they hatched.’ I’ve found it to be good, if odd, advice. Especially since she told me it back in the mid80s when Alou was not a Met. Or playing professional baseball. But she’s always been ahead of her time, and a bit crazy. Regardless, I need to see something a little more solid than 3 for 3 in St Lucie before I jump on the bring Alou back to Shea train. Like at the very least, a few decent games in AA or AAA. Or at the least, a week without him hurting himself doing everyday tasks.
