From MetsBlog: According to the Mets, Kelvim Escobar will undergo surgery to repair a torn capsule in the front of his right shoulder, and is expected to miss the rest of this season.
Who would have seen that coming? Hmmm ...
Yesterday I wrote about the bench, and how the Mets could've saved approximately $2.3 million by simply replacing Alex Cora, Fernando Tatis and Frank Catalanotto with three players making the league minimum. (I suggest Russ Adams/Andy Green, Mike Hessman and Chris Carter, in that order.) Add the $1.25 million in guaranteed money for Escobar and the tally of completely wasted salary exceeds $3.5 million.

This can't argued, but more and more, it is apparent Omar was more concerned with the bullpen then the rotation. He brought in 3 arms (Takahashi, Igarashi and Escobar) to fill roles in the pen. 2 out of 3 ain't bad even with Igarashi out for two weeks.
