It might have been only pitching live batting practive but its a start. John Maine pitched for the first time in over 6 months and felt no pain. Of course he was not satisfied with the results. He also is trying to bring back his curve ball for the first time in 3 years.
It seems that Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen is having the pitchers add to there respective arsenals . Giving them more pitch selection on the mound is great if the new pitch is something that can be effective. Nothing wrong with trying it in Florida.

That is one thing I have noticed since Warthen became the pitching coach: he has his pitcher's going back to using a curve ball. Under Rick 'Coach Pluto' Peterson, he had pitcher's abandon the curve, and use the change-up. He might have done this to save their arms (curve puts a lot of strain on shoulder and elbow), or it might just be a difference in pitching philosophy.
