Note: Sim Game for El Duque Today
Orlando Hernandez is scheduled to throw a simulated game in 
Port St. Lucie today, complete with batters, base runners and defense.
…from what i understand, assuming all goes well following today’s game, the next step will be for el duque to pitch in an actual spring training game, during which he’ll most likely only pitch an inning or two…which is why most people continue to believe he’ll start the year on the disabled list, building up his strength just in time for mid April, when the Mets will first need a fifth starter…
…by the way, it would be only fitting that both el duque and Moises Alou will start the season on the disabled list…i mean, it’s almost too perfect, considering how much we all joke about how fragile they are…unreal…
