@CraigStein66 As I mentioned, the new front office is far more cautious. People mostly go on DL when prudent. Ike was just screw-up.

I've told all these stories before, by the way. Plenty of them appeared in this NY Daily News story in 2009: bit.ly/xWMDET

Found oldie: Early in Reyes career, Mets wanted him tougher. They had Art Howe tell him "spit on it" to injury. Had undiagnosed fibula break

And yet Pedro Martinez, who was disposable at that stage of career, they gave extra rest in Sept. & had Lawrence/Humber start Sept '07 games

Thanks for reminding me about Ryan Church flying from Atlanta to Colorado with concussion. He said he felt like boater bobbing on Bering Sea

Still haven't figured out rocket scientist behind having Jose Reyes bat righty vs. RHP after oblique injury. Injury lingered whole 2nd half.

I can keep going, but we'll stop with Putz, Wagner and Schneider stories.

Mets exec calling Billy Wagner a wimp for complaining of elbow discomfort during sim game in Pittsburgh. Wagner needed Tommy John surgery.

Ryan Church says to Brian Schneider, 'Your knee looks swollen. Go see trainer.' Schneider to Church: 'They don't want to hear it.'

Doctors advised J.J. Putz to have bone chips removed from elbow, which would've cost 6 weeks. Mets said shoot him w/ cortisone. He tore UCL.

Ike aside, historically most of Mets medical issues involve disregarding medical advice of team doctors and telling players to be tougher.

One person begged me not to write Ike may have fracture as 2nd test approached. Turned out cartilage damage, not fracture, was missed.

On Ike Davis, Mets and doctors held breath on 2nd/later ankle test, thinking they might've originally missed fracture. (from source at time)

@Chakrabs Virtually everyone involved at the time told me they screwed it up with Ike. They actually were petrified it would come out.

@ebann5 Ike continues to say he'll be fine for spring training--that winter exercise rougher than season. He may always have residual issue.

Sandy Alderson really is a straight shooter, generally, but that's too much spin.

Except for the fact diagnosis of cartilage damage originally was missed and a boot Ike then wore constricted circulation and stalled healing

Sandy Alderson is quoted in Newsday re: Ike Davis as saying: "The treatment was correct and the recovery was just longer than we expected."
