Feb. 17 -- PAIN IN THE NECK

Across the state in Port St. Lucie, Caesar Rodney High product Dave Williams is in camp with the Mets, but, for now, he's unable to pitch. Williams had surgery last month to repair a bulging disk, and word from Mets camp is he's walking around in a neck brace that leaves him unable to turn his head. Williams, who had been a candidate for the Mets' No. 5 starter vacancy, told the New York Daily News that he occasionally suffered a stiff neck last season. It intensified and persisted in January, forcing him to undergo surgery. He hopes to be ready to pitch for the Mets by June. "Hopefully, I get out of this soon, so I can sleep," Williams said.
