|
| Derrick Goold of the Post Dispatch reports that Moises Alou has decided to hang up his spikes after the WBC. The six time All Star had a fine career, but decided that he needs to listen to his body and call it quits at age 42. Alou closed with: "This is my last rodeo, like you guys say. It was a nice one." |
Our View: This obviously takes Alou out of the fantasy mix. Unless of course your league has categories for golf scores and cocktails injested.

|
|
| The Philadelphia Phillies are still interested in the services of outfielder Moises Alou, as well as infielders Mark Grudzielanek and Rich Aurilia, reports Jayson Stark of ESPN.com. |
Our View: The World Series champs are looking for a right-handed bat off the bench, and each of these players would qualify. They are also interested in Nomar Garciaparra, though he may decide to hang 'em up.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is reportedly on the Phillies' radar, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. |
Our View: The club covets a right-handed bat off the bench, but the aging outfielder may be looking for more playing time than the Phillies can offer.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou has been transferred to the 60-day DL, according to the AP. The Mets acquired reliever Luis Ayala from the Nationals, and moved Alou to make room on the roster. |
Our View: This officially puts an end to Alou's season, who was taken down by a torn hamstring.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou will likely miss the rest of the season with a torn hamstring, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: Alou just can't catch a break, that is unless it is to his body. This could signal the end of Alou's career, too bad since the man can still hit. With Ryan Church's status also in doubt, the Mets seemingly will have to make a major move to replace the lost offense in the outfield.
|
|
|
|
| Alou told the Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin, "There's a pretty good chance I might be (playing for the Mets) Friday. There's a chance I may wait until after the All-Star break, but my goal is to be back in New York this weekend."
|
Our View: With Ryan Church headed to the DL, the Mets could certainly use him. However, given Alou's recent history, the brontosaurus has a better chance of returning from extinction than Moises does of lasting a month with the Mets.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is expected to make one or two minor-league rehab assignments this week but most likely won't rejoin the Mets before the All-Star break, according to the NY Post. |
Our View: He has been out since June 13 due to his strained left calf.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou could resume his rehab assignment on Monday, the New York Daily News reports. He is on the DL due to a strained left calf and had a setback this past week. |
Our View: Alou remains on pace to set the record for most injury status updates in a single season. He has appeared in one major league game since May 21.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou wasn't able to begin his rehab assignment on Monday night but it wasn't due to a setback with his strained left calf as the weather forced the games to be called, according to Mets Blog. |
Our View: Amazing that he wasn't injured opening up his umbrella or turning on his windshield wipers. Alou still hopes to return to the Mets this weekend in Philadelphia, but the brittle one is always a risk.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou, who is recovering from a strained left calf, should begin rehab games on Monday, according to the NY Daily News. If that goes favorably, he could return for next weekend's series against the Phillies, which starts July 4. |
Our View: Alou is productive when he plays as he holds a .347 average over 49 games with nine RBI, but he has already landed on the DL three times this season, and shouldn't be counted on as a starter in your fantasy outfield when he returns.
|
|
|
|
| Acting manager Jerry Manuel stated that Moises Alou might not return to the Mets this season, and may even decide to retire at 41-years old, according to the NY Post. Manuel said, "I think he's determined to get back this season. I do believe that if this happens in the fashion that it happened before, I think he'll have some serious problems, and he'll head to the house."
|
Our View: Alou has already been sent to the DL three times this season, with his latest trip due to a strained left calf.
|
|
|
|
| Newsday reports that Robinson Cancel has been recalled by the Mets and Moises Alou was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left calf. |
Our View: The move is not retroactive because Cancel was recalled within a 10 day period. This speaks volumes to the health of Alou, meaning he could be out for an extended period of time.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is still being bothered by tightness in his left calf and commented that a return trip to the DL is a possibility, according to MLB.com. He underwent an MRI on Wednesday, and the results are yet to be determined. |
Our View: He feels a few days away from returning to the lineup due to soreness, and isn't optimistic about playing at all during the Mets' current homestand.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is not in the Mets lineup on Wednesday because of his sore calf, and he will be given another MRI to determine the extent of his latest setback, according to the Journal News. |
Our View: Manager Willie Randolph thinks that Alou will likely need to be shut down for at least a few days, which means another trip to the DL is a possibility given the fragile nature of Alou's body.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou hit a two-run single Tuesday in his first game back with the Mets, but he was taken out of the lineup following a 61-minute rain delay after his calf stiffened up on him, according to the NY Daily News. Manager Willie Randolph didn't sound concerned about the veteran outfielder. |
Our View: Alou is going to be nicked up on and off, and we can probably expect him to land on the DL at least one more time.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets have activated Moises Alou from the 15-day DL, MLB.com confirms. The veteran outfielder has been out due to a strained left calf. |

|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is confident he will return from the DL on Tuesday, according to the NY Daily News. He said, "When we win, it makes it easier on me. Now I want to be in there more." He has recovered from a strained left calf.
|
Our View: Alou was hitting .340 over 47 at-bats this season, with seven RBI. The 41-year old outfielder will provide a boost to the middle of the Mets' order, but it remains in question if he can stay healthy, as this will be the second time that he returned from the DL this season.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets are hoping to see a quick return for outfielder Moises Alou , according to MLB.com. |
Our View: The team will activate Alou from the disabled list on Tuesday, the second time this season they have taken the veteran outfielder off the list. The team is hoping to see his bat return to form, for the platoon situation in the middle of their batting order is becoming thin. Keeping Alou healthy would be of great benefit, but at 41-years of age, it is sure to be a challenge.
|
|
|
|
| Mets manager Willie Randolph said left fielder Moises Alou will not come off the 15-day disabled list on Friday, this according to the AP.
Randolph said his outfielder will likely be activated Tuesday when the Mets return to Shea to face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Alou is eligible to return on Friday. |
Our View: The oft-injured Alou has mixed league value, but only if he can find a way to stay healthy.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou has stated that he doesn't expect to come off the DL until next Tuesday, at the earliest, after suffering a slight setback with his strained left calf, according to the NY Post. |

|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou believes he can be back in the Mets lineup by Friday, the New York Post reports. He strained his left calf on May 21 and landed on the DL. Friday is his first possible date for a return. |

|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou could begin a minor league rehab assignment in the week ahead and return to the Mets by next weekend, the New York Post reports. The outfielder is on the DL due to a strained left calf. |
Our View: Fantasy owners should always take the over when it comes to Alou and injuries. He's not safe to use in the coming week.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou has been placed on the 15-day DL because of a strained left calf on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Alou, who missed the first 26 games of the year recovering from a hernia operation, is injured more than a 160 pound kicker forced to play middle linebacker in the NFL would be. He can still hit as he's batting .340 in 14 games, but he just cannot stay healthy. Endy Chavez and Marlon Anderson will likely split outfield duties until Alou can return.
|
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is headed to New York for an MRI to confirm a possible mild-strain to his left calf, according to MetsBlog.com. Alou later stated to reporters that while he is not optimistic, he doesn’t expect to land on the DL and hopes to miss just a few days.
|
Our View: Alou was off to a strong start with a .340 bating average and seven RBI over 14 games, and hopefully he won't miss much time. We will keep you posted on his status.

Our View: Alou hasn't been on the field too long and is a veteran that will need rest along the way during the long baseball season. Anderson will hit second in the order tonight.
|
|
|
|

Our View: Alou is yet to hit his first homer but is performing well regardless, as he holds a .341 average over 11 games, with seven RBI and one stolen base. Alou can still get the job done.

|
|
|

| It appears the arrival of OF Moises Alou in New York, long considered a certain event to take place for the New York Mets, may no longer be so certain, according to the New York Post. The Mets have told reporters Alou is going to undergo tests on what they believe to be a fractured left ankle. |

|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
| Though the team will likely be without the service of 41-year-old OF Moises Alou until the first or second week or May due to a hernia operation, they don't have any plans to make a move to acquire OF depth, this according to MLB.com. "It's fair to say we'll go with someone internal right now," said GM Omar Minaya. Minaya went on to hint that the team still views Endy Chavez as their fourth OF so they may go with either Brady Clark or Angel Pagan as a starter for the first month of the season. |
|
|
|
| According to Mets GM Omar Minaya, Moises Alou will have surgery and should be on a bike roughly one week later, this according to MetsBlog.com. “hopefully.” He is expected to be back in four to six weeks, as had been reported on Wednesday. |

|
| Moises Alou will miss the start of the season for the Mets after it was learned he will need to have surgery on his groin, this according to the AP. Alou will have the surgery on Thursday and likely be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. Still a tremendous hitter, Alou usually waits until the start of the year before getting hurt, so even for him this is a bit early to be out of the lineup. With Ryan Church also dealing with the effects of a concussion, the Mets OF is suddenly very thin with Angel Pagan, Endy Chavez and Marlon Anderson now being in a position to possibly have to cover some substantial at-bats. |
|
|
|
| Moises Alou is having issues with his right groin and has been sent back to New York for testing, Newsday reports. He began having problems during Monday's game. We'll update his status when more is known. |

"But now I'm looking forward to a good season, so they can ask me to back to play another year." Alou had a terrific 2007 season when he was healthy, hitting .341 with 13 homers in 328 at-bats. He's still a worthy fantasy option, just make sure you have someone that can fill in for him when he gets hurt. |
|
|
|
| The Mets exercised Moises Alou's option for 2008 on Wednesday, according to Newsday. The option was for $7.5 million, although it was essentially a $6.5 million decision because of the $1 million buyout. Alou played in only 87 games this year due to a left quad injury, but he still hit .341 in 13 homers and 49 RBI. He'll be a risk/reward option next season. |
|
|
|
| Moises Alou was 3-for-4 Wednesday, returning to the lineup one day after leaving with tightness in his left quad. "That's Moises," Willie Randolph said in the New York Post. "He's a gamer.

|
|
|
|
| Willie Randolph had no new update on Moises Alou (tendinitis in right shoulder), who could be activated from the DL any day, the AP reports. "Day to day means that when he comes in and feels like he's able to swing the bat and throw he'll be in the lineup," Randolph said. |

| Moises Alou is frustrated by his slow recovery from a strained left quadriceps, the AP reports. He had fluid drained from the knee and said it's doubtful he will be ready to play this weekend. "I wish I could tell you I feel awesome but I can't," Alou said before the game Wednesday. "I thought after taking the fluid it would be better. It is better, but not close to playing." Out since May 16, he's been itching to get back on the field. "I came here to play, not to be hurt. When you're hurt on a good team, you feel like you're in everybody's way." |
|
|
|
| Moises Alou had fluid drained from his injured quadriceps on Tuesday. He said he has no idea when he'll be ready for game action again, according to the AP.

|
|
|
| Moises Alou is getting close to 100 percent recovered from a strained left quad injury that's kept him out since May 17. Manager Willie Randolph hopes to have Alou back soon. "Guys like that, veteran guys, they let me know when they're ready to go," Randolph said in the AP. |
|
|
|
| Moises Alou has erased any potential timetables for his return. The veteran tells the Newark Star-Ledger that his strained left quad is not improving. He is no better than 65 percent at the moment.

|
|
|
| Moises Alou admitted on Monday that a trip to the disabled list might be the best thing. He is dealing with a strained left quad and a sore right shoulder.

|
