Throw me in to the crowd who is puzzled over why Billy Wagner is already writing off his Mets career. As has been said, if he begins the recovery now, wouldn’t he have a shot at relieving in 2009? And even if the Mets decided not to pick up his option for 2010, how is there no possibility that the Mets won’t take a flyer on Wagner’s future?

I can understand that Wagner is severely depressed over the news of his season ending, but hopefully, when his head cools, he’ll start to open up to these possibilities. Because they exist, or at least, they should exist.

Also, I don’t agree with Linda Cohn about Wagner’s departure, either. Because it doesn’t make much sense to me.
