News: Mets are in Pain
In the last few days, Ryan Church suffered a concussion, Marlon Anderson bruised his chest, Carlos Delgado hurt his hip, Brian Schneider has a strained hamstring and Ruben Gotay jammed his ankle.
…in fact, we saw gotay out and about last night in St. Lucie and he was on crutches and wearing a protective boot…he said he would only be out a few days…umm, dude, you were on crutches and wearing a boot…
By the way, Carlos Beltran, Damion Easley, Luis Castillo, Endy Chavez, Jose Valentin and Ben Johnson have yet to play in a game this spring.
For more on the injury bug, which is running rampant around Mets camp, check out the Bergen Record, New York Post and the Journal News.
In the New York Sun, Tim Marchman explains why this current wave of injuries simply hilights the team’s overall lack of depth.
…someone i talked with yesterday said this is no big deal, that players always get knicked up like this as they work to get in shape through the spring…i don’t know, man, i’m still concerned…
…i mean, i’m sure they will all be fine, but this is starting to feel like a pandemic…
