Jonathan Niese injured himself covering first base during the second inning of yesterdays game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Minutes after an awkward stretch while covering first base, Jonathan Niese was removed from yesterdays’s ballgame with a severe ankle injury. Niese was immediately sent for an MRI, and during the postgame, manager Jerry Manuel said that “…we suspect it to be a tear”.This is a huge set back for Jon, and the Mets, who were really banking on him to help bolster the rotation, this year and in the future.The Mets will now have difficulty slating Jon for next season, not fully knowing what his capability's are at this level. This was the perfect opportunity for him to get some good experience in this down trodden season. What time is better than the present for a Met top prospect to test out his tools, and show that he is ready for Major League work.
...Good luck, Jon, see you in the spring...

I think Jon has a ton of talent and has a lot to offer this team, he will have a big future here... love the curve ball
Couldn't agree more. He has excellent upside and we're looking forward to big things from him next year and in the future...
...if Omar doesn't trade him away before that...
Niese is no longer a prospect. He's entering Pelfrey zone. Give him one more year and he'll be what Big Pelf looked like (hopefully) at the start of last year...
...or not.
