A report from the Sporting News indicates that David Wright is headed for the disabled list. If he can't hold a bat or throw, this is the best thing for the Mets to do. Thus, two starting position players will be on the DL. This gives Justin Turner a golden opportunity to prove himself as regular player since he would start at third base. Daniel Murphy hits well, but his fielding at second base is questionable. He booted a ball in the 9th inning last night, but the Mets had a big enough lead. Maybe Justin will get more playing time when everyone is healthy.

Addendum - the journal entry above was written at 11 AM. Although the Sporting News is a reliable publication, they were wrong bout David Wright's injury. He appeared in today's game and had 3 hits including a home run as the Mets won 5-0.
