State of the Mets with Omar on SNY last night.

Omar Minaya spoke to Kevin B and Dan G last night via phone on the SNY Mets Hot Stove show. Some of the tidbits that were mentioned were.

Daniel Murphy has a grade 2 strain. He will be sent home to rest up. After the Holidays since he lives in Florida he might get some work in before spring training in the outfield. Omar still sees him as an outfielder and maybe an occasional first base? Doubt that one.

Omar still has priority # 1 as pitching. He would like to see Oliver Perez back with the Mets at the right price. He also would prefer to see the Mets get a closer via free agency so they don't have to give up talent.

The bullpen might need some work but he did not trash his bullpen guys.

AAron Heilman as long as he is a Met will remain a reliever. Jon Heyman was also on the show and he mentioned that the Mets believe that AAron Heilman that his mechanics which have him with a high elbow will make him more likely to injure himself if he was a starter. Heyman compared him to Mark Prior. Of course Heilman and his agent would like to see him start so maybe there will still be a chance he gets traded. Good.
