...The following article comes from Mets.com and Marty Noble:
The Mets' scalpel, used more often than Moises Alou's bat in the last two weeks, was to be in action again Monday to put another player out of action. Left-hander Jason Vargas was expected to undergo surgery to repair a tear of the labum in his left hip.
Valentin, 38, had experienced a similar problem in 2002 when he played with the White Sox. An injection then was beneficial. He said he was opposed to undergoing surgery, which likely would end his career. As it is, the current problem has undermined his chance to be on the Opening Day roster. Mets manager Willie Randolph, who admires Valentin and wanted him on the team, said the veteran switch-hitter is "behind the 8-ball" now as far as being with New York when it plays its first regular-season game March 31.
