PELFREY: Will it ever happen for him?
Mike Pelfrey continues to tick me off. This time, it is hearing the news has been pitching with a high right ankle sprain during spring training. Pelfrey said he injured his ankle in the offseason and aggravated it the beginning of camp.
There are several ways to look at this, none of them good for the Mets:
If Pelfrey is injured, then he’s a complete idiot for not telling the Mets’ trainers and medical staff immediately. It is common knowledge in the sport that leg injuries often lead to arm injuries because it alters the pitcher’s mechanics and puts a strain on the arm. As a pitcher, how does Pelfrey, either not know this or chooses to ignore it? Just plain stupid. Pelfrey came to camp saying this could be a make or break season for him, so given that, why would he take such a risk? Just dumb.

Mike Baxter wanted to show his versatility, so he gave the Mets Staff a little scouting report on himself. And center field wasn't at the top of his list.
"I wanted to give them a detailed analysis of what I'd done in the past," Baxter said. "It was right field, then first base, then left field, then center, in order of games played."

One of the misconceptions about Omar Minaya’s tenure as GM is that he ignored the minor leagues, and did a bad job of developing players. But the Mets do have a solid group of young players from Minaya. We have quality players in both the majors, and minors from him.

With the news that Mike Pelfrey has been pitching for pretty much the entire spring with a high ankle sprain coming out in the past week, it put his horrific spring in some semblance of perspective.

Ever since losing the NLCS to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006 when they were destined to win, it seems the Mets have been a snake-bitten franchise.
The collapses of 2007-08, the injury plagued years from 2009-11 and of course the Madoff ponzi scheme have marred the past few years for this franchise.
The combination of injuries and the lack of spending power have meant that the organization...
