 J.J. Putz-R- MetsNov. 10 - 1:57 pm et
According to FOXSports.com, J.J. Putz would be willing to accept a set-up role.
"He has a preference to be a closer, but absolutely will not rule out an eighth-inning job depending upon many factors," his agent Craig Landis said. "Money obviously will be one. Location, how good the team is, the coaching staff. If everything else stacked up and it happened to be a setup job, we'd consider it." He may have no choice. The 32-year-old right-hander put up a disappointing 5.22 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 2009 and is working his way back from elbow surgery. As expected, the Mets declined his $9.1 million option last week.

 J.J. Putz-R - Mets Nov. 6 - 4:08 pm et

Mets declined RHP J.J. Putz's $9.1 million option for 2010.
Putz was handed a $1 million buyout instead. He's hoping to return to the Mets at a less lucrative salary, but it's not clear if they'll want him. He was diagnosed with a few arm problems this season and posted a 5.22 ERA and 19/19 K/BB ratio in 29 1/3 innings while healthy.

According to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post, the Mets have told J.J. Putz that they will decline his $9.1 million option for 2010.
Choosing the $1 million buyout instead is a no-brainer given Putz's arm problems. Acquired as the centerpiece of a three-team deal with the Mariners and Indians, Putz logged just 29 1/3 innings for the Mets while allowing 18 runs. He may have to settle for an incentive-laden one-year deal to prove that he's healthy.

According to David Lennon of Newsday, J.J. Putz was found to have fraying and a slight tear of the ulnar collateral ligmament in his right right forearm.
The Mets have already shut Putz down for the rest of the season. The injuries came to light after he cut a simulated game short on Saturday. He'll try rehabbing first, but surgery is also an option.

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post reports that manager Jerry Manuel is not optimistic that J.J. Putz will pitch again this season.
The hits just keep on coming. It turns out that Putz's 25-pitch simulated game on Saturday was cut short after he complained of forearm discomfort. He is now shut down indefinitely.

 J.J. Putz-R - Mets Aug. 25 - 3:21 pm et

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post reports that a scheduled rehab appearance for J.J. Putz (elbow) with Single-A Brooklyn on Tuesday has been scratched.
The reason for the change is unknown, but with the club's recent string of luck, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Putz was expected to join Double-A Binghamton after Tuesday's appearance, but the plan looks to be on hold for now. He has missed nearly three months after undergoing surgery on his right elbow.
