According to Andy Martino, Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen is confident with progress John Maine has made, saying, "I think there may be a miracle (on Sunday)."
Memo to Dan: It will take more than a few days of bullpen action to undo two years of mediocrity.
As stated in this space, Maine should be allowed to work out his "issues", but not at the pro level. The Mets should offer, and Maine should accept, an assignment to AAA Buffalo. It is virtually impossible to "undo" all his "mechanical errors" and regain 6 MPH on his fastball by throwing on the side.
Even our viewers expressed in our poll (right hand side of blog) that they think Maine should be sent down to the minors (31%). Most answered that he should be removed from the rotation (40%).
I truly hope Maine can regain his - 2006-2007 form, but I'd be less than honest if I said I think he can.
