SNY just announced that outfielder Moises Alou left this evenings AA B Mets game with what appears to be a hamstring injury. Alou had been quoted this week as saying he’d be ready as early as Friday to be activated from the DL.

Now, I’m not a doctor, but perhaps there is some sort of way that a team of medical experts could combine the usable parts of Moises Alou, El Duque, Matt Wise, Trot Nixon and Luis Castillo and create one healthy Met. I assume it would be some sort of cross between Frankenstein’s monster and Voltran, but with the ability to play baseball.

Regardless, I’m guessing that when you get hurt in AA ball rehabbing, it means we won’t be seeing you any time soon. At this point, we have to be realistically saying August as a earliest return window. In a more realistic scenario, it just seems unlikely we’ll see any of these guys back. Just 60 day Wise, Pagan, Duq and Alou, maybe we can find someone useful to fill those spots in the 40 man for when the next player gets hurt.
