The entire week has seemingly revolved around Carlos Delgado, and whether he should be considered for the National League MVP.

Today is no different…

In Newsday, David Lennon speaks with other writers who will be voting on the award and asks whether Delgado has a chance.

Sam Borden writes of Delgado in the Journal News, as well.

However, in the New York Post, Mark Hale writes, ‘The Mets have as many as five MVP candidates,’ in addition to Delgado, including Johan Santana, David Wright, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran, who, like Delgado, according to Hale, ‘has 18 go-ahead RBIs in the last 67 games, tied for best in the majors as of yesterday.’

In a column for FOXSports.com, Dayn Perry goes so far as to say Delgado isn’t even the MVP of the Mets, let alone the league.

In an interview with the New York Post, Billy Wagner tells Mike Puma, “I’ve played my last day as a Met, that’s the way it goes.”

On Wednesday, Wagner had Tommy John Surgery to repair his elbow, meaning he may not pitch again until late next season.

In addition to other comments and quotes, Puma writes:  “It was Schoeneweis, perhaps his closest friend on the team, who visited Wagner at home yesterday and offered to drive him to Shea Stadium for the rest of the season. Wagner is planning to make some appearances.”

During a press conference earlier this week, Wagner told reporters that he will rehab for two weeks with the team before returning home to be with his family through the off-season.

John Delcos had been the Mets beat writer for the Journal News, and writer of their Mets Blog.

Unfortunately, Delcos was laid off by the Journal News.

However, he has since returned to the blogosphere with NY Mets Report.

Also, he and NYSD’s Joe McDonald have teamed up for a live, weekly podcast using Blog Talk Radio, which you can learn more about by clicking here.

I am happy for John, who I have talked with about blogging, writing, reporting, etc., on countless occasions, as I try to learn more about old media, and as he tries to learn about new media.  I wish him the best of luck on his new blog.

What’s most interesting here, though, is that, despite no longer working for a newspaper, John continues to have press credentials as he is a member of the Baseball Writers Associated of America – meaning, as of now, he is a credentialed, independent ‘blogger,’ having started in newspaper, but now living only in the blogosphere.

I wonder what Buzz Bissinger would say about this.
