Today I read an article at mets.com
Orlando Hernandez has reported to New York to get his neck examined after experiencing pains in his neck. Both Omar and Willie see no reason to be concerned.

Of course Aaron Heilman wants to start. He was brought up in the Mets organization as a starter. And after some disappointing call ups he finally showed some promise in 2005. In 2006 he was relegated to a set up role.

With the addition of Chan Ho Park the Mets have some log jam in their bullpen. Here's a list of the names vying for five spots in the starting rotation.

1. Tom Glavine
2. Orlando Hernandez
3. John Maine
4. Oliver Perez
5. Mike Pelfrey
6. Philip Humber
7. Aaron Sele
8. Chan Ho Park

Dave Williams drops off the list due to his injury. Three days and counting folks...

Dave Williams is having surgery to repair a hernaiated disk in his neck that he injured when throwing. The length of time he will miss is unknown currently.
