Another pitcher has gotten bit by the Tommy John bug: Mets starter Mike Pelfrey, who was placed on the DL on Tuesday with a sore elbow. The news was shared by Mets manager Terry Collins today after the Mets' 3-2 win over the Marlins.
With Pelfrey due to hit his final year of arbitration after this season, and likely to make at least $6 million, it's safe to assume that his career in New York is over. Pelfrey never really lived up to the expectations thrust onto him after being drafted ninth overall in the 2005 draft, as he never struck out more than 113 batters in a season or had an ERA under 3.66. For the Mets, he really was just an innings eater at the back-end of the rotation as opposed to a dominant ace like they envisioned.
It's immediately unknown who will replace Pelfrey in New York's rotation on a full-time basis, though reliever Miguel Batista got a start in game one of a doubleheader on Monday against the Giants. Chris Schwinden has been tabbed to start o...

As it is looking more and more like a certainty that Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2012 season, it is time to wonder if the start that Pelfrey made on April 21 was the last time that we will see him in a New York Mets uniform.
It seemed as if Pelfrey had figured things out through the early part of the year. He looked good in his first three...

Mets starter Mike Pelfrey has a partial tear in his right elbow and is “99 percent” certain he will have re-constructive Tommy John surgery that will sideline him until next year.
The team made the announcement about its up-until-now durable pitcher shortly after New York beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 Thursday.

After yesterday’s win over the Marlins, it was announced that Mike Pelfrey was likely to undergo elbow surgery and miss the remainder of the season. This is really bad news for the Mets, a statement I’d never thought I would say. The Pelfrey we saw in three starts this year was doing everything he needed to do to “cross the Rubicon,” as broadcaster Keith Hernandez would...

Just as soon as the Mets put Jason Bay (ribs) and Mike Pelfrey (elbow) on the disabled list, the Mets go ahead and win two straight games over the Miami Marlins while also ruining the Jose Reyes homecoming in the process.
Everything is right in the world, correct?
Not so fast.

Mike Pelfrey is going to have the dreaded Tommy John Surgery. This surgery used to be the death sentence of pitchers years ago. Now it usually results in them returning in a year’s time, just as good as they were before, and sometimes even better.
This injury could not have come at a worse time for Big Pelf or the Mets. It was becoming obvious that Pelfrey was not going to be here...

The New York Mets seem to be stuck in a hole they can’t dig themselves out of. This is mostly due to three injuries in the past 48 hours and players who aren’t living up to their potential.
