Read: Maine in the Bullpen
In a report for Newsday, David Lennon writes, “John Maine still has an outside chance of returning this season, perhaps in a bullpen role.”
Lennon continues on to provide first-hand quotes from Maine, who will not begin throwing until next Monday.
…from what i recall, maine cannot injure himself further by pitching…so, why not pitch from the bullpen, assuming he is unable to tolerate pitching as a starter…worst case, it doesn’t work, and he shuts it down for the season…best case, he’s good, and the Mets stumble upon an extra arm…
