John Maine was put on the DL last night, when all along he was saying he wasn't injured, and even confronted Jerry Manuel in the dugout after being removed from Thursday's game.
Now according to David Lennon at Newsday, Maine is feeling discomfort in the same location on his shoulder he did last year. Hmm, and last year when he pitched so miserably, he said his shoulder was fine. He is scheduled to meet with doctor on Monday.
Who out there would be surprised if he goes under the laser again? Any takers?
I had always liked Maine, but it is more than obvious that his comments about his health can't be believed.
Honestly, I think Maine is done. He has had shoulder issues since 2008, and hasn't pitched well since 2007. It's nearing the point where the Mets are going to have to have some serious discussions about their oft injured righty.
His trade value is less than zero, plus a player can't be traded while disabled. Maine is at a major cross road in his career. He is no longer young (29) and has had shoulder issues over the last three seasons.
You can't make this stuff up. We are only in May, and three of the Mets starting five pitchers are on the DL.
Feels like Groundhog Day where 2009 is repeating over and over.
